Rockwell Kent

Shadows of Evening
1921–1923

A painting depicting a serene landscape with a deer standing on a grassy hilltop looking into the distance. Overhanging branches from the top left corner frame the scene, and a large bird, possibly an eagle, is taking flight from a rocky outcrop on the right, while another bird rests nearby. The background features rolling hills fading into the misty horizon under a sky filled with soft, billowy clouds. The artwork is signed "Rockwell Kent 1927" in the lower left corner.
