Cape Horn, Columbia River

Carleton E. Watkins

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a body of water, distant cliffs, and rocky formations on the right. There are two small boats near a sandy shore, with one person seated inside. The scene has a sepia tone, and the details of the cliffs, water, and textures are captured clearly in a photographic style.
