About this work

Landscape sketch with high level of finish showing view of a cultivated valley in the Red Hills near Kingston, Jamaica. In foreground, mixed foliage frames the view of a valley with several distinct farms or pastures. In the middle distance, the reddish brown ridges of the Red Hills constitute the primary focus. In the background, taller mountains are shrouded beneath dark storm clouds, which begin to precipitate at left.
