Landscape Composition [recto]

John Varley

National Gallery of Art

The perspective is slightly elevated. The horizon is suggested by a lighter area in the upper third of the composition. The brushwork is loose and fluid, with blends of color. The color palette is warm, mainly shades of brown with hints of cream. The overall impression is of an abstract landscape.
