Landscapes

Daniel Huntington

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a dual sketch on a single sheet. In the upper section, there is a gently rolling mountain range with sparse trees. The lower sketch features a water body, possibly a river or lake, with reflections and faint markers. Brushstrokes are fine and subtle, primarily in pencil. The color palette is monochromatic, with light pencil on beige or tan paper. In the foreground, there are sketchy indications of trees and land formations, transitioning into more indistinct lines and shapes in the distance.
