Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a pastoral scene from a slightly elevated viewpoint. The horizon is low in the composition with a wide expanse of sky dominating the view. Distant hills create an undulating line separating the land from the sky. The etching features assertive lines depicting the landscape, trees, and clouds. The color palette is monochrome with sepia shades adding depth and contrast. Sheep graze in a field with a lone tree on the right. In the distance, figures and trees connect the near and far elements of the scene.
