In the gentle light of evening, a warm glow is cast on the rugged surfaces of red cliffs. The interplay of clouds and snow upon the mountain peaks creates a serene atmosphere, blurring the line between earth and sky. Shadows deepen the presence of the trees at the base of the mountains, enhancing the artwork’s striking contrast.
Some craquelure showing on the surface.
