View on the Genesee near Mount Morris

Amerikanische Malerei 1850–1857, 1857

This painting shows a landscape with a wide river on the right flowing through green hills. There is a path on top of a green hill on the left, showing a small person in the distance facing away from us, walking behind a group of brown and white cattle. Tall, dark green trees separate the path from the slope down to the river. The sky is vast and pale blue, covered in white clouds. The painting has smooth brushstrokes and a color palette of primarily greens, browns, blues, and yellows.
