Lifting Mist

Joseph P Knight 1838 - 1909

Summary

A detailed, naturalistic painting of a desolate landscape of craggy hills in North Wales, looking up a narrow track leading upwards from the bottom left foreground. Groups of sheep are scattered about the hillside; the two nearest are in the middle ground to the right. There is a clouded misty sky, beginning to obscure the mountain tops, and casting the tops of the mountains in shadow.
