The image showcases an exquisite graphite heightened drawing by Alexandre Calame, a renowned Swiss artist hailing from Vevey. The composition is divided into two distinct parts, with the front side displaying a mesmerizing depiction of towering trees that seem to reach for the heavens. Their intricate details and delicate shading bring them to life, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. On the reverse side, we are greeted by an unexpected surprise - soldiers amidst a dense forest.
