This drawing shows a dark, misty valley with a winding river cutting through rocky hills. Tall trees line the riverbank, their branches heavy with shadows. The light fades near the horizon, leaving the far side of the gorge in deep gray tones. The title says this is *Malham Cove*, a real place in England. The artist used soft washes of gray and black to create mood—no bright colors, just quiet depth. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
