The New Moon

Benjamin Lander

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a lower perspective angle looking down a path surrounded by tall trees, leading to a calm body of water. The horizon shows a rise of land with scattered trees and shrubs. The etching technique creates detailed lines for texture, capturing the natural landscape. The monochromatic color palette uses shades of gray and black, showing a serene setting under a crescent moon in the sky and reflected on the water. A path winds through grass towards clustered trees.
