Viewing the painting, brightens the light in the artwork. There is a sense of reality as the light seems to move through the clouds.

In the painting we observe a man at the top of a hill. His head is tilted downward and his composition is darkened. As the beholder moves his eye to the left, the altitude of the painting drops into a dark valley. The ocean that lies beyond the darkened valley is lit up by the setting of the sun. The painting transitions from a sunset lit hill, to a dark valley, and then to an ocean that fades into the horizon.
Although the structures of these two paintings are similar, elements such as tone, colour, line and texture are diverse. For example, the first painting maintained depth and illusion, transposing the third dimension on a flat canvas and composing a convincing landscape painting to lure the audience in. The second painting displayed barely any depth; therefore, the represented literal surface continues to make spectators see the pictures as paint on a surface.

The colors in the foreground are whites and greens, while in the background there are darker tones of green and black. The lines are curved and overlapping, suggesting wrinkles and folds in the cow and the

Even the woman’s frame and posture seem to follow the lines created by the railings of the viewing box. The railings are also implied lines, the first thing our eyes go to is the woman, and then we follow the railings to the man who has his gaze set on the woman. The man’s gaze gives us implied lines that lead us back to the main focus of the painting, the woman. The artist also uses light and dark to guide our eyes to the important parts of the artwork. Most of the artwork is dark, while the woman and the man looking at her are in the light.
