Gunner Working Up to Fowl

Peter Henry Emerson and T.F. Goodall

National Gallery of Art

The image is a straight-on view of a solitary boat on a calm body of water surrounded by sparse grass. Inside the boat, a figure faces away with oars beside them. The horizon is higher up, separating the water from a line of trees and foliage in the background. The monochrome palette enhances the serene atmosphere.
