This watercolor shows a rocky landscape with old stone buildings in the background. A few people are scattered around—some sitting, some standing—near what looks like ruins. The mountains behind are pale and misty, blending into the sky. The artist focused on light and shadow to show worn-out walls and distant peaks. The colors are soft and faded, giving it a quiet, dreamy feel. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
