The image shows a composition of layered shapes and lines, creating an abstract landscape. At the top, a large expanse of off-white dominates the scene, leading the eye down to a series of horizontal bands in shades of deep reddish-brown and black. These bands resemble the rolling hills or stratified layers of the earth, suggesting a horizon or a geological formation. — Edward Corbett, Washington, D.C. November 1963 III, 1963, oil on canvas, Gift of Marian Corbett Chamberlain and Mrs. Edward Corbett, 1974.14.1
