David Johnson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white landscape drawing of a lagoon and trees. The scene features a body of water with grasses growing along the shoreline in the foreground. A large tree with dense foliage dominates the left side. The tree's branches extend over the water. In the background, there are more trees and what appears to be a house or building on the left. The sky above is light with some clouds visible. The drawing is signed by the artist in the bottom-left corner. The title of the piece is "Landscape and Lagoon, New Rochelle".
