Landscape with Disstant Mountains [verso] 

John Marin's "Landscape with Distant Mountains" is a delicate pencil drawing on paper, capturing a sweeping vista of a landscape. The artwork is composed of a distant mountain range, a vast body of water, and a foreground with a single tree and foliage. The artist's loose, expressive lines suggest a sense of movement and the fluidity of nature. Marin's signature, "Jcd. 1459" and "Boggsy", is visible in the lower right corner, adding an intimate touch to the piece. This drawing reflects Marin's renowned style, which is known for its abstract approach and focus on capturing the essence of the scene. The drawing's minimalist yet evocative composition exemplifies Marin's mastery of capturing a landscape's energy and atmosphere through a simplified form.
