Mountain Landscape

Sébastien Le Clerc I

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a coastal landscape with a rocky inlet between high cliffs. The horizon is under a cloudy sky with sailing ships at sea. On the horizon, there are structures on cliffs. The detailed etching shows texture on rocks, water, and clouds. The color scheme is monochromatic, emphasizing light and dark contrast via lines. A goat is on a nearby rocky outcrop with a waterfall cascading down a cliff. The scene extends towards the sea.
