Hillside and Trees

David Cox

National Gallery of Art

The image features a landscape viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is subtly suggested by pencil outlines, with elements such as tree outlines and a distant structure visible. Loose and fluid brushwork in sepia tones creates a soft and ethereal quality. Darker strokes at the forefront indicate trees and shrubs, with a predominantly earthy brown color palette.
