In Jessop's original oil painting, "Landscape in Yellow," a classic landscape scene is rendered with a distinct twist. The foreground features a solitary tree set against a vast, rolling snow-covered field, and this picturesque scene extends into a backdrop of trees, bushes, rolling hills, and distant mountains that seamlessly merge with the sky.

The defining characteristic of this artwork is the masterful use of color. The light aspects of the painting are dominated by a range of yellow tones, while shadows are cast in serene blues. These color choices create a unique atmosphere, capturing the subdued, almost melancholic essence of winter days, where the world is washed out but still profoundly beautiful. Jessop's skillful use of oil paints on canvas in "Landscape in Yellow" evokes the tranquil and contemplative beauty of the winter landscape, a harmonious interplay of light and shadow that resonates with a sense of grace and serenity.
