The Camp Meeting

Worthington Whittredge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Camp Meeting by Worthington Whittredge shows a serene forest scene with a body of water in the foreground. The water's surface reflects the surrounding trees and sky, appearing dark green and calm. A dirt path runs along the left side of the water. Several people are standing near the water, and a larger group is gathered on the far side. A wooden structure is visible on the left. The forest is dense with trees having thin trunks and green and yellow foliage, and the atmosphere appears warm and sunny. The colors used are muted, with shades of green, brown, and yellow dominating the scene.
