Pines in the Mountains, Herman Herzog, oil on canvas
Buddhist Priest, Tokyo, Cadwallader Lincoln Washburn, etching with drypoint
This etching is created with black ink on paper. The scene looks out over rooftops from a high vantage point toward a cityscape (downtown Birmingham, Alabama). Smoke rises intermittently in the distance, and the sky has some color and a few lines but is fairly clear.
This painting represents a coastline, with land extending from the right edge of the canvas into surrounding water. The water and reflections from the land are the foreground of the composition. The land is in the middle ground, with a canoe manned by a single figure docked on the shore. The land emerges from the water as a sloping hill, and on top of the hill is an elevated storage structure (a cache). Beyond the land is a mountain landscape, painted primarily in purple and white.
