His expressive brushwork is particularly beautiful throughout the trees, mountains and expansive sky, with layers of warm ochre, russet, green and blue creating the wonderfully atmospheric palette associated with early 20th-century European landscape painting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe surface displays pronounced age-related craquelure, particularly visible through the sky and lighter passages, giving the painting the unmistakable character of its 112 years. The surface also appears to have received a later protective coating or varnish at some point in its history.
