Description
Highly finished landscape sketch of a mountain valley in Jamaica. In the immediate foreground, a green, wooded hillside gives way to farm land and plains in the valley beyond. At left, a nearby hillside bounds the valley. In the distance, taller, more rugged mountains climb into the sky--hazily rendered due to atmospheric perspective. Above, puffy clouds travel across a yellow-green sky.
