Marsden Hartley

Dogtown Common #4
c.1935

A pen and ink drawing on paper depicting a rocky landscape with various sized stones and boulders, some with visible shading to suggest volume. Sparse vegetation can be seen in the form of grass or leaves interspersed among the rocks. The artwork has a sketch-like quality with dynamic, expressive lines, and it is presented on a cream-colored background.
