A second drawing done from the same blot

Alexander Cozens and William Pether

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a landscape with mountains, trees, and clouds. The mountains reach into a partly cloudy sky near the upper part of the image. The artwork features soft brushstrokes and a color palette of brown shades. Foliage and trees are depicted in the front, with rocky terrain leading to the mountains. There are clouds in the sky, and two goats are visible on a rocky outcrop on the right side of the image.
