介绍（中）	在这幅想象中的风景图像中，一棵被炸毁的树似乎坐在山顶上，映衬着多云的天空。为了创作这幅作品，Cozens 将深灰色和棕色墨水的水洗应用于他的绘画手册"协助发明绘制风景原始构图的新方法"（1786 年）中版 1 的印刷印模。在这本出版物中，他介绍了一种制作抽象印迹的技术，方法是用粗刷将墨水快速涂抹在一张纸上。这种技术的目的是绘制出风景图像的基本构图结构，同时省略更精细的细节，这些细节将在稍后阶段制定。通过专注于整体构图，该技术旨在释放艺术家在创造想象视图时的想象力。在这幅罕见的修饰版中，精致的阴影天空与前景的粗略印刷黑色墨水形成鲜明对比，并将印刷品的抽象标记转化为更容易识别的风景图像。
介绍（英）	A blasted tree seems to be sitting atop a hill and is set off against a cloudy sky in this imaginary landscape image. To create this work, Cozens applied washes of dark gray and brown ink to a printed impression of plate 1 from his drawing manual "A New Method of Assisting the Invention in Drawing Original Compositions of Landscape" (1786). In this publication, he presented a technique of making abstract blots by smudging ink quickly onto a sheet of paper with a thick brush. The purpose of this technique was to map out a basic compositional structure of a landscape image whilst leaving out the finer details, which were to be worked out at a later stage. By focusing on the overall composition, the technique was intended to free up the artist’s imagination in creating imaginary views. In this rare touched-up plate, the delicately hatched sky contrasts with the roughly printed black ink of the foreground and transforms the print’s abstract marks into a more easily recognizable landscape image.
