Mouth of the Apponaganasett River

Robert Swain Gifford

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape with water, rocks, and a shoreline. The scene shows a body of water with ripples on its surface. Large rocks are positioned in the middle of the water, near the shoreline. There are grasses and plants growing on the shoreline. In the background, there are trees and what appears to be a distant shoreline or a bridge. The sky above is cloudy. The image is rendered in shades of gray and appears to be an etching or engraving. The title of the piece, "Mouth of the Apponagansett River," suggests a serene natural setting. The artist's signature is visible in the lower corners.
