Artist, American, 1849 - 1937

The image displays a vertically oriented tree on the right side with its thick foliage and trunk depicted in energetic brushstrokes. On the left, the sky and land blend together in sweeping strokes, creating a sense of motion. The horizon is located towards the bottom third of the frame but is obscured by the merging of land and sky. The style is impressionistic, emphasizing texture and movement over precise detail. The color palette is monochromatic, using blacks and grays for depth and contrast, creating a striking visual impact that accentuates the scene's dynamism.
