This original watercolor on paper by renowned New Zealand artist Rita Angus (1908-1970) depicts a stylized ridge line, likely inspired by the Central Otago or Hawke's Bay regions. Executed in 1960, the work demonstrates Angus’s mastery of the medium, utilizing delicate washes of ochre, soft pink, and sage green to define the geological contours of the hills. A singular, simplified green tree in the foreground provides a sense of scale and grounding against the expansive, pale sky. The composition reflects her signature precision and interest in the unique light and rhythmic forms of the New Zealand landscape. The piece is signed and dated "Rita Angus / 60" in the lower right corner.
