Silent Reflection in a Frosted Landscape

More about Silent Reflection in a Frosted Landscape

A pen and ink drawing in shades of black and white depicts a man wearing a light-colored hat and light-colored jacket over dark pants, standing with his back to the viewer and facing a frozen landscape. He stands on a slightly raised area covered in sparse brush at the right, next to the gnarled roots and trunk of a massive, dark tree that curves to fill the upper right corner and much of the upper left corner of the image with its dark, bare branches, with only the white sky showing through. The branches in the upper left curve to frame three smaller, lighter trees with delicate, bare branches. Numerous small, black birds fly in the white sky. In the upper center, a dark, textured full moon is visible. Below the moon, the dark outline of a forest of evergreen trees fills the center horizon, with some white specs suggesting a snowfall. In the lower left, a dark crescent moon is depicted over a dark, wing-shaped cloud. The entire foreground is a flat, expansive white field that suggests snow or ice.
