These four landscapes each depict a magnificent landscape with white, "infinite" spaces diffused throughout each composition. Features such as the pine leaves and ripples of each painting are depicted with painstaking, meticulous detail. Two noblemen can be seen having a chat amid the impressive landscapes.
