Newark, N.J., from the Passaic

Mary Nimmo Moran

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a riverbank scene with an industrial landscape in the distance. The horizon is high in the composition, merging with a pale sky. Factory buildings, smokestacks, trees, and a smoke plume are visible. The style is detailed with fine brushstrokes, in sepia tones. A path and a wooden pier are near the viewer, leading to the reflections in the river and the distant view.
