Hilly Landscape with Figure in Foreground n.d.

This anonymous pen and ink drawing from the Art Institute of Chicago depicts a hilly landscape with a small tower perched atop a rocky outcropping in the center of the composition. The artist employs a loose, gestural style, capturing the forms of the hills, trees, and clouds with sweeping lines and hatch marks. The landscape is rendered in shades of brown, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The artist's choice of a simple, uncluttered composition allows the viewer to focus on the beauty of the natural world.
