Olive Trees at Tivoli

George Inness

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape painting with green and brown hues. A grassy and rocky hillside slopes down from the bottom-left corner. A dirt path winds down the hill. A low stone wall runs along the hillside. Several trees are on the hillside. A large tree with a thick trunk and rounded crown is on the left. Flatter land stretches into the background. A distant mountain range is on the horizon. The sky is light-gray with some darker clouds on the right.
