Sketched onto a light grey background, this small watercolour of the view at Urdukas nimbly represents the strength of the shadows the painter would encounter every morning. The contrast between the shadow below the white spire of Uli Biaho and the mountain flank to its left is especially compelling.

- William Mitchell, K2 Artistic Expeditions: James Hart Dyke & Vittorio Sella, 2026
