Cover for "Au pied du Sinaï"

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape viewed from an elevated position. The horizon is high, with a sun and clouds in the sky. Mountains partially obscure the horizon line. The artwork uses textured lines and shading for shapes. The color palette consists of earthy tones and yellows. In the foreground, a ridge slopes downwards where a figure is present. Dark structures with rough outlines are visible below the ridge. In the distance, there are gentle slopes and plains leading to the horizon.
