A river-valley landscape, further inland; annotated with instructions for colouring.
Description
FitzRoy "RF very slight"
Drawing, double page panorama. The background is again occupied by flat-topped rocks with vertical brows above gentler slopes leading down into the midground, where the flat zone of the riverside or a dried portion of the riverbed stretches, with some indication of scattered grasses and small bushes growing in it. There is an impression of distant stratus and cumulo-cirrus cloud over the centre of the horizon in 5r. Colouring instructions on 5r below the bushes in the left centre read: "bright greenish yellow", and further below: "tufts of hummock[?] grasses on a greyish ground"
