Niagara Falls from the American Side

William James Bennett after John Robert Murray

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a close-up view of Niagara Falls from the American side. The horizon is low, obscured by the waterfalls dominating the scene. The artwork depicts the water, rocks, cliffs, and trees with detailed precision. Earthy tones like grays and browns are used for rocks and cliffs, while soft blues and whites represent the water and mist. Mist rises from the falls where they crash into the river. A small boat with a few people is visible on the water.
