Dining Room and Stage Offices at White Sulphur Springs

John Hazelhurst Boneval Latrobe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape scene with a long, low building in the foreground and a mountainous background. The building has a brown roof, white columns along its front, and appears to be surrounded by a dirt road or yard. Several people are standing outside the building. There are trees on either side of the building and in the background, and a hill or mountain rises behind them. The sky is cloudy. The painting's color palette is muted, with shades of green, blue, and brown dominating the scene. The artist's signature and title are handwritten at the bottom of the painting in cursive.
