Landscape

Unidentified artist

Not on view

The size of this octagonal painting indicates that it was likely made to be an album leaf. A male figure in the center of the landscape looks out onto a vista, an established painting subject that evokes contemplation and solemnity. The small size adds to the quiet and intimate mood of the painting.
