Associated Names
Pierre Bonnard

Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The image shows a landscape view from a slightly elevated angle, suggesting the viewer is looking out across a stretch of rocky terrain. The horizon is near the top third of the image, with outlines of land or structures breaking the line. The drawing uses a loose and sketchy technique, with visible strokes and hatching that suggest details. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of gray against the off-white paper with visible fibers. Closest to us are indistinct forms and textures likely representing rocks or a rugged shoreline, with more abstract elements further in leading to a hazy range in the distance. The sky meets the horizon with soft cross-hatching.
