Leaf Sketch

Public domain sketch of a leafy plant that looks like ivy. A little grass grows at the base of this upright plant adding a bit of interest to this plant drawing as well as providing a visual clue that this is an actual plant drawing and not just a drawing of a piece or branch of the plant. I think it would make an interesting overly for a mixed media piece.

This plant and leaf sketch and a number of others were drawn by William Walker (b. 1821) and included in his Handbook of Drawing from 1880.
