Near the Quarry
1930

A vibrant watercolor painting depicting a rural landscape with a small industrial facility, possibly a quarry or mine, with piles of white material stacked outside. A railway track curves through the scene, flanked by wooden buildings and stacks of lumber. Lush green hills rise in the background under a dynamic sky filled with fluffy white clouds. The painting is signed "H.E.S. Sörensen."
