A horizontally oriented watercolor and gouache painting depicts a muted landscape. To the left, loose brushstrokes and graphite lines define a bank of reddish-brown and ochre earth beside a gray-brown pool. Dark gray rocks cluster in the foreground, while a band of soft green foliage stretches across the horizon. Above, an expansive off-white sky dominates the upper half. The atmospheric scene captures the quiet, textural quality of a natural shoreline.
