This watercolor shows a mountain covered in snow with a few patches of green trees near the bottom. The sky above is soft and cloudy, with warm light glowing over the horizon. A small village sits tucked into the valley, looking tiny against the huge landscape. The artist signed it in the corner, and the title at the bottom reads *The Cedars of Lebanon*. The colors are light and airy, with watery brushstrokes that make the scene feel peaceful. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
