Plainville, Conn. From The South West

Titus H. Darrow

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an elevated view of Plainville, Connecticut, from a southwest perspective. The horizon line is high, marking the transition from the foreground to the hills and buildings beyond. Hills span the width of the image, curving gently against the sky. Brushstrokes offer texture, especially in the trees and buildings. The color palette is monochromatic, in various shades of gray. Buildings, trees, and grazing cattle are visible in the foreground, leading to a more densely built town in the distance. The sky is soft with few clouds.
