Susquehanna below Nanticoke, Pennsylvania

Thomas Addison Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing of a river. A large tree with thin branches and sparse leaves grows on a bank on the left. The bank slopes down to a body of water on the right. A group of cattle stand in the shade. Two lie down on the ground. The water stretches to the right and into the distance. Trees line the riverbank on the right and in the background. A line of low mountains fades into the background under a hazy light gray sky. The Susquehanna below Nanticoke, Pennsylvania by Thomas Addison Richards.
