Moonlight over Landscape n.d.

"Moonlight over Landscape" is a pencil drawing by the English artist John Sell Cotman. It features a delicate, almost ephemeral landscape, with a few trees and a single, round moon. The drawing is characterized by its loose and gestural lines, a hallmark of Cotman’s style, which often emphasized the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. While the subject is simple, the composition creates a feeling of depth and tranquility. This drawing is part of the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
