Associated Names

Muirhead Bone

Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

The image shows buildings in the center surrounded by hills and a high horizon. The brushstrokes are loose and fluid, creating a sketch-like quality with shades of gray dominating the palette. Closest are detailed structures with gabled roofs, while fields and hills are depicted with simplified lines. In the background, hills merge with the sky.
