Roman Landscape is a 1900 chalk by Elihu Vedder, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a landscape with rolling hills and a few trees in the distance. The artist used colored chalks on green paper to create the scene. In the foreground, there's a small cluster of trees on a hill, with a few more trees scattered in the distance. The hills are depicted in various shades of green, with some darker areas suggesting shadows or valleys. The overall effect is one of serenity and calmness.
