New York from Weehawk

William Guy Wall

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with a large body of water in the background. A city skyline is visible across the water. The foreground features a dirt road winding down a hill, with a person driving a horse-drawn vehicle. Trees and bushes line the right side of the road, and a grassy area with a few trees is on the left. A small white building with a green roof is on the left side of the image. The sky above is light blue with some clouds.
