Towanda From Table Rock

William H. Rau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bird's-eye view from a rocky vantage point, with a town stretching out beyond a river. The town features a mix of rectangular and pointed rooftops, lined streets, and trees. A bridge crosses the river, connecting the banks. Rolling hills rise in the distance, hazy against the pale sky. The photo uses a sepia-toned palette, highlighting contrasts between the light sky and darker elements of the town and rock formation in the foreground.
