From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Snow Drift is a 1904 ink by Frank Short, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a serene winter landscape, with a snow-covered road winding through the center. On the right side, two figures on horseback are visible, while a small building stands on the left. The scene is rendered in shades of black and white, with the mezzotint technique used to create a sense of depth and texture. In the background, a range of hills stretches out, with a few trees scattered throughout the landscape. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful winter scene. For more on the artistic technique used to create this serene landscape, explore the world of chiaroscuro.
Sir Francis Job Short PPRE (19 June 1857 – 22 April 1945) was a British printmaker and teacher of printmaking.
