Associated Names
William Hart

Artist, American, 1823 - 1894

The image shows towering, sloping hills or mountains that create a U-shaped composition. The horizon is not visible, obscured by the mountainous terrain dominating the upper part of the image. Loose brushwork is used to depict rocky surfaces, with a monochromatic color palette of varying browns and sepia. A figure is silhouetted against the landscape, with a moody and atmospheric tone emphasized by light areas in the sky above.
