Highly detailed color sketch of the rolling hills of the central Italian landscape in late day. The landscape and hillsides are dominated by long honey-colored grass that wisps in a gentle breeze. Stray olive trees dot the landscape. There are dark gathering storm clouds in the distance, which provides gradual tonal variation to both the landscape and the skyline. The sun is setting near a hillside where the storm is gathering, so we only get a sense of the sun's location as the force of its light is significantly dampened. The scene is peaceful yet ominous, as we do not know when or where the gathering storm will erupt. (The work is unsigned.) It is a masterpiece exquisite detail.
