The Water Tower, Chester

John Skinner Prout

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a grayscale drawing of a riverbank scene. A large, cylindrical stone tower with battlements stands on the right side, surrounded by a low wall. The tower is constructed from large stones and features small windows. In the foreground, a small boat is tied to a post on the riverbank with a rope. Three people are standing on the riverbank, one near the boat and two further away. A wooden fence runs along the riverbank, separating it from a dirt path and a few buildings. Trees and additional buildings are visible in the background, set against a cloudy sky. The artist's signature and the title "The Water Tower, Chester" are written in the bottom-right corner.
