Notes
This study of a tree in chalk and on grey paper is typical of Jean-Baptiste Lallemand, particularly in the handling of the figures. It is perhaps part of Lallemand's tutoring of Robert Adam in landscape studies; there are similar studies at Blair Adam (see BA287 and 289). The handling can be compared with tree studies done before Robert left for Italy in 1754 (such as Adam vol.56/11 and vol.56/170).
