Description
A pale yellow moon glows in a cloudy blue-and-rust sky above rolling blue hills and dark evergreen trees, with a green and blue field or path in the foreground dotted with small white marks. The abstracted, atmospheric landscape is rendered in soft washes of indigo, slate blue, and burnt orange, giving it a dim, hazy, nocturnal mood. This woodblock print by Sarah Brayer, titled *Luna*, is pencil-signed and numbered 23/50 below the image.
