On the Unadilla, New York

David Johnson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape painting depicting a rural scene. A dirt road with two tracks runs through the bottom-left corner, curving right and out of view. The road is surrounded by low, dry-looking grass and brown vegetation. A few cows stand in the middle of the image, under a group of large trees with dark green leaves. The trees are on the left and center of the image. A wooden fence runs along the right side of the image, extending into the distance. In the background, a range of low hills or trees is visible on the horizon. The sky is blue with large, fluffy white clouds. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, green, and blue dominating the scene. A figure stands on the right side.
