Pennsylvania Landscape

Thomas Doughty

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape viewed from a slightly elevated point. The horizon is low in the composition with softly rolling hills. Trees are seen along the horizon. The artwork is a line drawing with precise lines defining forms. The color palette is monochromatic with light brown and beige shades. A large tree with extended branches is in the top left corner. In the distance, there is a pastoral scene with open space, meadow-like vegetation, and sparse trees.
