United States Military Academy, Looking South

George Catlin I, 1828

The image shows a military academy with large buildings and rolling hills. The horizon is near the upper third of the image, with the natural landscape rising just above the rooftops. In the distance, there are troops in formation near cannons under a sky with soft clouds. The brushstrokes are precise, creating a formal illustration style. In the foreground on the right, people in period attire gather near a white obelisk surrounded by an iron fence. An American flag flutters near the center. The ground shows textures of earth and grass, with figures reclining on the grass. The color palette consists of earth tones, green, beige, and muted blues.
