This sketch shows a quiet, hilly landscape with soft, muted colors. The hills slope gently downward, and the paint is light and watery, almost like a quick study. There’s a thin line of trees or bushes near the top, and the ground has patches of darker green and brown. The loose, sketchy style makes it feel like the artist worked fast, maybe outdoors. The paper looks worn, with some stains and fading. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Homer Dodge Martin.
