Rowing Home the Schoof-Stuff

Peter Henry Emerson and T.F. Goodall

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person in a small boat on a calm body of water. The individual is facing away and holding the oars wide. There is a bundle of reeds on the boat. The water is smooth with slight ripples and reflects the person and boat. In the background, there is a row of trees and a strip of land forming the horizon. The sky is mostly overcast with a few lighter patches. The scene is monochromatic and tranquil.
