About this work

This painting shows a rocky hillside with trees and bushes. The scene is depicted in shades of gray, with some darker areas and lighter highlights. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The artist has used a range of techniques to create texture and depth in the painting. The rocks and trees are rendered in thick, heavy brushstrokes, while the sky is smooth and flat. This contrast creates a sense of tension and drama in the painting. The painting is held at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
