DescriptionMountain, work scene, lumbermen, logs sliding at mountain side,road and equipmenteMuseum Notes
Jozef Bakos did not record the specific type of work he observed in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and depicted in this watercolor. Nevertheless, the heavy equipment suggests a project of considerable size. The project was clearly the focus of the artist’s attention, although he seems to have been interested in the juxtaposition of the work with the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevadas.
