Abstract

A view of the distant peaks of the Andes.

Description

"P352. Vol 2"


The distant peaks are shown jagged and white, running from the left to the right-hand edge of the picture. On the very left of the picture, the line of sight to the Andes is blocked by a dark flat topped hill with steep slopes. In the right centre, in front of and below the background hill-line, there is a darker pyramidal or conical rock. Across the whole midground, a dark horizontal line indicates a strip of flat ground and/or water, maybe representing the river or riverbank. The foreground is flat with some indication of occasional vegetation from the left centre to centre, and again on the far right. Between these clumps, in the right centre, a more pronounced group of small bushes is growing. The whole of the midground and foreground is drawn in dark pencil to emphasise the whiteness of the distant peaks.
