Connecticut River

Charles A. Platt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a riverside scene. A dock extends into the water on the left side, with a sailboat moored in the distance. Further back is a village with buildings and trees, mirrored on the calm river surface. The sky is expansive with fine, delicate lines. The etching style features precise, thin lines and a monochromatic color palette of gray and sepia.
