Landscape, 1809–44, Graphite, Sheet: 7/8 x 1 5/8 in. (2.2 x 4.2 cm), Drawings, Henry William Burgess (British, active 1809–44), This tiny drawing represents a river winding through tree-lined banks with hills beyond. It may be an idea for a print design--in 1828 the artist designed ten lithographic illustrations for 'Studies of Trees'--and in the present work the artist's mastery of characteristic tree forms is evident even at a miniature scale
