The Evening Star (Motif Found in the Catskills)

A dusky landscape of a winding stream or pond bordered by reeds and bare trees, with a low hill and a faint light low in the evening sky. Soft, dense tonal hatching gives the scene a hazy, nocturnal mood, and a pencil signature appears in the lower left margin.
