This painting is part of the “Sunset” series by the talented American artist William Trost Richards, realistically depicting a mountain sunset. The atmosphere is masterfully conveyed through the use of watercolor, soft brushstrokes, and pastel colors: blue, light blue, green, and beige.
The painting's realism is enhanced by the artist’s meticulous attention to detail — from the mountain slopes to the mist and grass. Richards was a true professional, as evidenced by numerous exhibitions of his works and the well-deserved recognition he received. His paintings had a significant influence on the development of other landscape artists, not only in America but also around the world.
