About the piece
Created around 1780, this monochromatic wash by Alexander Cozens exemplifies his innovative 'blot' technique used to suggest dramatic landscapes. The work features a towering mountain peak emerging from a detailed foreground of rocks and foliage, rendered with a sophisticated sense of depth and atmosphere characteristic of early British landscape art.
