Susquehanna at Standing Stone

William H. Rau

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape with a river curving into the distance. A path or road runs alongside the river on the right, bordered by grass and shrubbery. Trees are scattered throughout the scene, and a tall tree stands out prominently. A densely wooded hillside slopes down towards the river on the left. The horizon is hazy with rolling hills faintly visible under a clear sky. The image is in black and white, creating a timeless and classic feel with subtle light and shadow.
