View from the Battery toward the City

Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg

Cleveland Museum of Art

A harbor scene with a city skyline in the background. The foreground features a grassy area with a low wall made of stone or brick, and a row of cannons pointing out to sea. There are several boats and ships in the water, including sailboats and larger vessels with multiple masts. A small building with a sloping roof is on the left side of the image, near the water. The sky is cloudy, with darker clouds on the left side. The entire image is rendered in shades of gray, with no bright colors.
