City of Washington: From beyond the Navy Yards

Amerikanische Grafik 1815–1836, gepubliceerd 1834

The image shows an elevated view looking down at a city. In the upper third, there are distant hills and a cloudy sky. The landscape includes a dirt path with some boulders, an ox-drawn cart, a river with sailboats, fields, and city buildings in the background. The colors mainly consist of earthy tones for the land and soft blues and grays for the sky and water, creating a balanced composition.
