Ugbrooke, Devon

A wooded ravine drawn in brown wash and pen. A large fallen trunk bridges a rocky gap above a stream, while a gnarled tree stands at left and broad, leafy trees fill the right. The pale tonal range gives the scene a quiet, sunlit calm.

Look closer: Small figures or shadowed rocks are hard to pick out in the stream bed at the bottom edge.
