Mary Nimmo Moran

National Gallery of Art

The image features a low vantage point looking slightly upwards towards trees and houses, with the horizon out of view. The artwork is done in an etching style with detailed line work forming textures of leaves, rooftops, and grass. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of brown and beige. A path leads towards cottages nestled among tall trees.
