Landscape is a 1929 by Jolán Gross-Bettelheim, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a small village with crooked houses and bare trees. The buildings look old, with slanted roofs and dark windows. A big tree stands in the center, its branches twisted and tangled. The ground is rough, with patches of grass and shadows everywhere. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to make the scene feel busy but not polished. The shadows and light mix in a way that feels more like a drawing than a finished painting. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
Jolán Gross-Bettelheim (January 28, 1900–July 29, 1972) was a Hungarian artist who lived and worked in the United States from 1925 to 1956, before returning to Hungary.
