The Falls of Niagara (Copy after an Engraving in The Port Folio Magazine, March 1810)
The image depicts a black and white landscape. A large waterfall dominates the scene. The waterfall is wide and has two distinct sections. A mist rises from the base. A rainbow arcs over the right side of the waterfall. The foreground features a line of evergreen trees. The sky is cloudy. A body of water extends to the right of the waterfall. A shoreline with trees and possibly buildings is visible in the distance on the left. A few boats are on the water to the right.
