White Mountains (?)

Attributed to Asher Brown Durand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with rolling hills extending into the distance. There are two large tree stumps in the foreground. In the background, there are mountain ranges and a cluster of wooden structures nestled among trees. The color palette is composed of brown and sepia tones, creating a monochromatic aesthetic. Lighter tones recede into the distance while darker tones are closer, depicting the play between light and shadow in the scene.
