On the Road from Conway

Thomas Cole

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an ink sketch of a mountainous landscape from a slightly elevated viewpoint. There are hills, trees, a house, and a path in the foreground, leading to a valley surrounded by mountains in the background. The sketch is done in black ink on sepia-toned paper, with simple and flowing lines defining the scene.
