Blue Mountain
1910

Watercolor painting depicting a rugged mountain landscape with various shades of blue, purple, and green, showing the artist's impressionistic take on the natural scenery. The brushstrokes give a sense of texture and depth to the mountains and valleys, with hints of white and pink suggesting snow and light on the peaks. The artwork is signed at the bottom right.
