Henry Peter Bosse

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a river. The horizon, marked by a line of trees, is at the top. In the foreground, there is shrubbery and rocks by the river. A utility pole is prominently placed, leading the eye towards the distant shoreline. The photo uses a cyanotype technique, giving it a blue monochrome color scheme. In the distance, a structure with smoke rising is visible.
