William Louis Sonntag

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white painting of a landscape with a waterfall and figures by William Louis Sonntag. The painting depicts a wide river with rocky shores and several large boulders. The river curves to the left in the background and to the right in the foreground. Two people sit on a short waterfall at the bend. Trees line the shores. In the background are more trees, rolling hills and a cloudy sky. On the right side there is a wooden bridge or structure on top of a hill.
