DescriptionThe image plane is dominated by large, angular mountains highlighted by sun and shadow. At the base of the mountains a smooth band of earth cuts across the canvas, narrow on the left and growing in width as it travels to the right. The immediate foreground is high desert with sage brush. The small portion of sky that can be seen is clear.
