The New Moon

The New Moon by Frank Short: A grayscale landscape image of a body of water with a wide, calm surface reflecting the sky and surrounding land. A narrow strip of land juts into the water in the foreground on the right, with two people sitting on it, one fishing. The right side of the image features a shoreline with trees, buildings, and a plume of smoke rising from a chimney. The left side shows a more distant shoreline with darker, rolling hills. The sky above is partially cloudy, with a crescent moon visible. The entire scene is rendered in shades of gray on a rectangular canvas with a white border.
