"Gezicht op de vallei van Hasly" is a watercolor on paper by Swiss artist Charles Melchior Descourtis, dating to between 1763 and 1785. The artwork depicts a picturesque view of the Hasly Valley in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. Featuring a dramatic mountain range in the background, with a rushing waterfall and verdant trees in the foreground, this landscape artwork is a fine example of 18th-century European landscape painting. The scene is rendered with precise detail and delicate washes of color, capturing the serene beauty of the Swiss Alps.
