Riverhead, Long Island

Oscar F. Bluemner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a body of water in the foreground and a dense line of trees in the background. The trees form a silhouette against the sky. The horizon line is low, highlighting the sky and trees. The sky has swirling cloud patterns with dynamic pencil strokes. The color scheme is monochromatic with shades of gray and black on a muted beige background. Closest to the viewer, strokes indicate vegetation along the water's edge.
