Under Full Sail

Amerikanische Malerei 1835–1840, second quarter 19th century

The painting depicts a landscape with a river, curving hills, and tall trees. A sailing ship with furled sails moves along the river in the center, surrounded by yellow foliage on either bank. In the background, sparse trees line the horizon under a blue sky with wispy white clouds. On the right, we see a yellow house on the edge of the water, smoke coming from the chimney. The color palette is muted, consisting of soft greens and blues with pops of yellow and white.
