View on the Seine: Harp of the Winds

Homer Dodge Martin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a serene landscape with a body of water. The water occupies the lower right portion and extends to the center left. A small strip of brown and tan shoreline is visible on the left. A steep sloped land mass with green and brown vegetation rises on the left. A group of tall, thin trees stands on the right side of the painting, their reflections mirrored in the water. The background features a town or village with buildings in muted tones. The sky above is blue with white and gray clouds.
