Harvest at San Juan, New Mexico

Peter Moran

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape from a slightly elevated point of view. The view displays the land and the sky. The horizon line divides the earth from the sky. There are silhouette structures that resemble buildings or houses on the horizon. The style of the artwork is etching with fine lines creating patterns and textures. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of brown and black. A group of horses is galloping with figures holding whips. Clouds fill the sky, adding depth to the scene.
