Kashmir Scene

Samuel Bourne

National Gallery of Art

The image is captured from a slightly elevated point of view, looking over a lakeside landscape. In the distance, the horizon is marked by a range of hills. A body of water stretches across the image, with small boats near the shoreline. Close to us, the land slopes towards the water, where a few people can be seen. The image features trees on the left and in the middle, with a winding path across the grassy area. The color palette is black and white.
