William Rimmer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a grayscale, square-shaped artwork titled 'Wellfleet Islands, Looking West' by William Rimmer. The artwork features a landscape with a predominantly light gray background that transitions to white towards the bottom right. Darker gray spots and a few lines are scattered across the surface, suggesting some form of scribbles or texture. A thin black line runs horizontally across the lower part of the image. The entire artwork is surrounded by a thick white border, which is then encased in a black border. The corners of the artwork are slightly rounded and darker in shade, indicating aging or wear. The lower part of the image contains some illegible writing.
