Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a landscape with a valley viewed from a slightly elevated position. The horizon is low, featuring hills or mountains. A sun is visible near the horizon, partially hidden by clouds. The drawing consists of fine, detailed brushstrokes, creating texture in the terrain and sky. The color palette is sepia-toned. A dirt path winds through the landscape with sparse vegetation, where two figures stand. In the distance, there are structures and telegraph poles, with human presence diminishing towards the horizon lined with hills.
