DescriptionThe image is a landscape with the lower third of the work being ground and the upper two-thirds being sky. The ground in the foreground is barren with a small amount of scrub brush detailed. A small V made by two hills meeting gives view to a desert plain that stretches to purple bluffs in the distance. The sky is atmospheric over the bluffs, and then fades to pale blue, then to clouds over the foreground.
