Tennessee

Alexander H. Wyant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with a river flowing through a rocky valley. A tall, thin tree stands on the left side of the image on a rocky outcrop. In the background, there are rolling hills and mountains. The sky is cloudy and overcast. The river is positioned in the center of the image, curving around a bend to the right. The water appears brown and turbulent, with white foam visible where it flows over rocks. The rocky outcrop in the foreground is brown and gray, with several large boulders scattered about. There are trees and greenery on either side of the river, and the overall atmosphere of the painting is one of natural beauty and serenity. The title of the painting is "Tennessee" and it was created by Alexander H. Wyant.
