This painting shows a loose, watercolor-style landscape with a few tall trees and rolling hills. The colors are soft—greens, blues, and a warm orange patch in the distance. The brushstrokes are quick and uneven, like the artist sketched it fast. The trees stand out against the sky, which is mostly pale blue with a few darker streaks. The hills in the foreground have patches of yellow and gray, as if the light is hitting them unevenly. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
