Cliffs of Ecclesbourne Near Hastings

Thomas Moran

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with rolling hills, rocky outcroppings, and a high horizon. The brushstrokes are soft, creating texture on the slopes and sky. The colors are muted greens and grays, creating a serene atmosphere. Darker patches suggest shadowed ground and rocks in the foreground. The hills soften towards the horizon, which fades into a misty silhouette merging with the sky.
