Archibald Robertson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape with a dirt path winding down to a body of water, with a cityscape in the background. The path is bordered by a rocky cliff on the left and a large tree on the right. Three people stand on the path, two women in white dresses and a man in a blue coat. The city in the background has several buildings, including steepled structures. A bridge spans the body of water. The sky is blue with clouds. The image has a beige border with the words "New York" written at the bottom.
