More Information
This drawing is of an estuary in a mountainous region. The heavy clouds and black bulk of the mountains produce a somber effect, to which the sparse vegetation in the foreground contribute. The entire scene is dramatized, however, by the brilliant yellow streak in the sky and the pinkish-red undersides of the clouds.
