St. Paul's from Under Waterloo Bridge, Low Tide

American Landscape Painting, 1862

The image displays a riverside cityscape seen from a low vantage point near the water. The city has various structures, including a large domed building that could be a cathedral. Sailing vessels with tall masts are on the right side of the image. The city structures are drawn with fine pencil lines, and the overall color scheme is monochrome. The water reflects part of the cityscape, and the sky is left blank, drawing attention to the detailed architecture.
