English : 1723—1792 0LANDSCAPE Height, 25 inches; length, 30 inches A MOUNTAINOUS landscape with broad valley is pictured on aday of bright sunhght and heavy storm-clouds. On the lefta tall tree of dense foliage rises out of the picture, throwing apart of the rocky and grassy foreground into shadow. Be-yond, on the left, broad fields are yellow, green and blue inthe sunshine, and the clouds over the far fields and mountaintops are white, tinged with lavender-pink, the light from thisbroad stretch of bright land and clouds streaming in towardthe right foreground under a heavy, menacing thunder-cloudwhich hangs over a mountain-side of the right middle distance.Before the mountain two or three gnarled and sturdy detachedtrees of slight foliage grow, and near their base some figuresare suggested, roughly sketched in. Amid the mass of thestorm-cloud, aloft over the center of the picture, a patch ofcloud is a bright yellow, as vividly illumined by the sun.

She is seated facing theleft, her head turned almost fully to the spectator, at whomher bright, wide open, deep blue eyes look directly, with theslightest suggestion of an amiable smile which her delicatelycurved ))ink lips confirm. She is shown at three-quarterlength, and wears a plain, cream-white gown of light materialand moderately open neck, which hugs the body nowhere savealong broad bands which finish the elbow sleeves, beyond whichher two rounded arms extend along her lap, her pink fingersinterlocking as the hands meet above her knees.
