Elm

John Robert Cozens (mentioned on object), 1789

Cozens depicts the sunlight in this landscape with meticulous care, using differences in tone to suggest a sense of depth: sharp contrasts in the foreground, where the darkest tints appear, and increasingly light tints further back. Left, sunlight rakes the tops of the trees. Either the sun is just rising, or setting.
