This painting shows a quiet, rolling landscape with dry, rocky ground and clumps of trees. The trees are dark and leafy, standing out against light, sandy soil. The sky is barely there—just a pale edge at the top, like it’s fading out. The artist used soft watercolor strokes to keep things simple and a little blurry. It feels like a quick sketch of nature, not a fancy scene. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
