About this work

This print shows a misty Scottish landscape with rolling hills and a dark, cloudy sky. In the foreground, a few sheep graze while a lone person walks, leading a horse. The scene feels quiet and remote, with soft edges blending the land into the sky. The title says it’s a *peat bog*—a wet, spongy area where plants slowly rot. These bogs were (and still are) cut for fuel in Scotland. Next, check out *The Cleveland Museum of Art* to see more prints like this.
