Sunset Over Water

William B. Post

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a view from the water looking towards the horizon. The horizon is visible with dark silhouettes of boats and land formations. The sky has scattered clouds, with larger masses in the top corners. The image has a grainy texture and a monochrome palette, playing with light and shadow. The water's surface reflects light with gentle undulations.
