Early Morning - Richmond

Francis Seymour Haden

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape from an elevated perspective. The horizon is low, allowing for a large sky area with the sun on the left. Trees are on the right, shading the textured ground. Detailed textured brushstrokes are used with a monochromatic color palette of black and white. The landscape extends into the distance with less defined forms.
