Harriet Wilkes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a north-east view with rolling hills extending into the distance. The horizon line is in the upper section of the image, meeting a cliff with a visible face toward the sea. The artwork displays meticulous brushstrokes or etching, detailing textures in the clouds and landscape. A woman is depicted standing on a terrace looking out over the landscape, with a dog nearby. To the left, a building with columns and a detailed door is visible. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of brown and sepia. In the distance, patchwork fields, trees, and a coastal view are depicted.
