Mountain Landscape with a Hollow is a 1770 ink by Alexander Cozens, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows rolling hills and a distant mountain range. The colors are mostly browns and tans, with darker patches for trees and shadows. A winding path cuts through the middle of the scene, and the sky is soft and faded. The artist used a technique called *cross-hatching*—lots of tiny, overlapping lines—to build up shadows and texture. It looks almost like a sketch but with careful shading. Next, check out the technique: cross-hatching to see how it works up close.
