Edgar Degas, known for his paintings of dancers and horses, also produced landscapes like this "Landscape with Hills" from 1890. This pastel drawing, currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, depicts a hazy, impressionistic view of rolling hills and a winding river. Degas's use of soft, blended colors and loose brushstrokes evoke the atmosphere of a summer day, capturing the light and airiness of the scene.
