Falls of the Potomac

Amerikanische Grafik 1765–1814, 1800–1810

The image shows a waterfall from an elevated perspective. The horizon is not visible, hidden by distant trees and rocky cliffs on each side. The water flows over dark rocks, creating foam. The brushstrokes convey texture and movement. The color palette includes shades of green, brown, and gray. The sky has clouds suggesting an overcast day with hints of yellow. A person is sitting on a rock in the foreground.
