Mt. Baker and Mt. McKensie [recto] 1894

"Mt. Baker and Mt. McKensie [recto]" is a pencil and watercolor sketch by American artist Samuel Colman, created in 1894. The artwork depicts a landscape view of two mountains, Mt. Baker and Mt. McKensie, with the latter being a prominent feature in the foreground, its snow-capped peaks rising from a rocky terrain. The subtle washes of watercolor add a sense of depth and atmosphere to the scene, while Colman's meticulous pencil lines capture the intricate details of the mountains and the surrounding landscape. This quick sketch is a testament to Colman's talent for capturing the essence of a scene with masterful economy of detail and masterful use of light and shadow.
