Mountain Landscape

Alexander H. Wyant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Mountain Landscape by Alexander H. Wyant. A large mountain dominates the scene with a flat top and steep sides. The mountain appears to have many crevices and cracks. The mountain is depicted in shades of gray with darker tones used for shadows and crevices. A flat area with trees and a body of water is in front of the mountain. The body of water appears to be a lake or river with a flat surface reflecting the mountain. There are trees on the left side in the foreground. The sky above the mountain is light gray. The overall color palette is muted with shades of gray.
