A massive rocky escarpment rises on the left before opening onto a succession of distant ridges and valleys. Mauve, russet and ochre tones sweep across the terrain beneath a wide, changeable sky. Broad strokes and layered colour convey the geology of the mountains as well as their striking sense of scale.
