- Description
- This drawing is a stylistically loose portrayal of a mountain scene. This scene is comprised only of mountains and rock - no trees or such other landscape. There is a peak in TLC and the mountain slopes downward to another smaller peak in the TRC. The foreground of the piece is comprised of many loose rocks that are piled on top of one another and recede into the background. The line quality of the drawing in the foreground is much heavier and more detailed than the background. Shading in the piece is done mostly with cross-hatching.

- Description
- A mountain scene framed on the right by a portion of a rocky mountain which is cropped on the top, right and bottom by the edge of the work. This portion takes up approximately 1/3 of the work lengthwise, and is purple in colour. Sharing the foreground with this large rock are several (5) evergreens. We only see the tips of these trees although the tree on the left side of the picture reaches almost to the lc. A mountain range painted in blue colours is in the background and, and is cropped on the bottom and left by the picture’s border, and on the right side by the rocky mountain side in the foreground. The small amount of visible sky is yellowish in colour.
