Marino and the Alban Hills

Charles Joseph Natoire

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape with rolling hills, a distant building on a hill, a figure in red seated by a house with two cows, and small houses nestled among the hills. The scene is painted in watercolor with a soft color palette of browns, greens, and blues. Trees and expressive brushstrokes add to the serene atmosphere.
