Description

A mountain village in the foreground with a range in the distance.

Commentary

A rapid likely en plein aire, all prima sketch with liberal, fluid wet into wet brush strokes and paint mixed directly on the board. The speed of the execution is evident in the short, heavy brush marks and the tentative marks in the foreground.
