Falls Station, Niagara

Joseph Pennell

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape with a train in motion on tracks in the foreground. In the background, there is a waterfall with cascading water captured in swift brushstrokes. The horizon is partially hidden by mist and distant land formations. The drawing style is sketch-like with pencil marks creating texture. The color palette is monochromatic with varying shades of black and gray capturing the natural and man-made elements in the scene.
