Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a flat, rural landscape with fields, trees, and a horizon line slightly below the center. A line of trees and slopes creates the horizon. Dark lines and texture suggest shadows and reflections on a small body of water. There are bare trees on the left and small structures resembling farmhouses near the horizon. The scene is depicted with fine, delicate lines and short strokes creating texture and defining elements. The color palette is monochromatic in brown and black tones.
