View from Little Sewell Mountain, No. 1 is a 1857 ink by Edward Beyer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a wide, rolling landscape with gentle hills and distant mountains. A few trees dot the scene, some bare, others with sparse leaves. A small house sits near the bottom right, surrounded by fields and scattered rocks. The sky is pale, blending into the soft colors of the land. The title at the bottom says it’s a "View from Little Sewell Mountain." The artist used a method called lithography to create this image, which lets colors layer like paint. Look up lithography to see how this printing technique works.
Edward Beyer (1820–1865) was a German landscape painter who was active in the United States and became known for his depiction of the Antebellum South.
