It's a shadowy landscape.
The sun is just setting, so it feels romantic, but also maybe a little bit forlorn as day is passing into night.
Innes was one of the most well known painters in the 19th century.
But at the same time, he was an outlier among his contemporary painters because he remained really committed to European landscape painting.
This is a really important piece for us because it's part of our founding collection, which was amassed by President Holland in the first part of the 20th century.
