Evening, New York Harbor

Henry Farrer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a harbor scene at dusk titled "Evening, New York Harbor" by Henry Farrer. The scene shows a body of water with a few boats and a shoreline with buildings to the right. The boats have their sails up, with one boat prominently in the foreground and several more in the background on the left. The shoreline rises to a small hill with a few bare trees on the right side of the image. The buildings on the shore have steeply pitched roofs with a chimney visible. The sky above is cloudy with the sun low on the horizon. The foreground water reflects the sky and the boats. The entire image is rendered in dark tones with dense etched lines. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom left corner.
