Mountain Sleet 1929

"Mountain Sleet" is a 1929 etching by American artist Levon West (1900-1968). The print depicts a lone rider on horseback traversing a snowy landscape, emphasizing the stark and desolate beauty of a wintery mountain scene. The minimalist composition with the rider as a single figure in the vast open space evokes a sense of solitude and the challenges of a harsh environment. The print's fine lines and tonal variations create a sense of atmospheric depth and highlight the subtle nuances of the snowy terrain.
