Perfectly Imperfect Old Pencil Study of An Old Old Tree

This old pencil study is exquisitely detailed with the finest of points. It is of a heavy trunk of an old old tree.  The imperfections are that the study has been well travelled it has creases, buckles, small edge tears, pencil scuffs and a few other little nibbles to the edges from storage.  But this is its character, its journey, its story.  

Study approx 150 years old.
