View from Little Sewell Mountain, No. 2 is a 1857 ink by Edward Beyer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a quiet countryside scene with rolling hills and a small valley. A winding dirt road cuts through the middle, leading to a cluster of simple houses and a few trees. The landscape is mostly browns and grays, with some patches of green fields and bare trees. The title at the top says it’s from *Album of Virginia*, and the bottom notes it’s a view from Little Sewell Mountain. The artist used a method that lets colors blend smoothly, like a sketch that’s been printed. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it 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.
