An Old Dam Near Montrose

James David Smillie

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a calm body of water, distant hills, a line of trees, and a small bridge. The perspective is low to the ground, with a monochromatic color palette of varying shades of gray and sepia. The brushstrokes are delicate and soft. Vegetation lines the water's edge, and the water surface reflects the sky above.
