Lowlands is a 1918 ink by Timothy Cole, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a quiet, misty landscape with a lone tree standing near a rocky shore. The sky is pale and flat, blending into the distant hills. The ground looks wet, with patches of shadow and light. The artist used thin lines and shading to build up the shapes—no bold strokes here. It’s not painted but carved into wood, which makes the details look crisp and clean. Want to see more wood engravings? Check out engraving.
