Descent into the Plain of Granada

David Roberts

Cleveland Museum of Art

Watercolor painting of a mountainous landscape. A group of people on foot and horseback traverse a dirt path through a steep, rocky canyon. The canyon walls are composed of tan and brown rock with some sparse vegetation. A man walks on the right side of the path, carrying a long stick. To his left, four horses or donkeys with colorful harnesses are accompanied by several people. In the background, the canyon opens up to a vast, hazy valley with more mountains on the horizon. The sky is blue with white clouds. The scene depicts "Descent into the Plain of Granada" by David Roberts.
