Village by the River

Amerikanische Malerei 1885–1890, fourth quarter 19th century

The painting shows a coastal area. Across the water, the horizon is behind several buildings of different colors, with trees and white fences between them. In the center, there is a small green island, a steamship, and a sailboat, as well as some black and white birds. Tall trees with dark green leaves are on a small section of land near the bottom right corner, with flying birds above them and a small person dressed in dark clothing sitting below them. The sky above is cloudy, and the water below reflects the clouds.
