The Rising Moon

Samuel Palmer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Rising Moon by Samuel Palmer: A black and white landscape drawing of a rural scene. A group of sheep rest on the ground in the foreground. A shepherd's wooden post and several tree trunks are on the right. The sun or full moon rises behind dark mountains on the left. A dark house or church sits on a hill on the left and four tall trees stand on the right. A pile of wicker baskets lie on the ground on the right. A white cloudy sky fills the top third.
