The Lehigh, At Turkey Run

William H. Rau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with railway tracks curving to the left and disappearing into the distance, bordered by trees. A tree stands prominently in the foreground, with the horizon in the upper third of the image. Hills line the background, with a river running through the right side of the scene. The color palette is monochrome, with varying shades of sepia creating a vintage look. The image is sharp with a focus on natural elements, and the distant landscape fades into a gentle haze.
