Potomac River Below Harper's Ferry

Andrew Fisher Bunner

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a riverside scene. It shows textured rocks on the riverbank, sparse vegetation, and a leaning tree. In the distance, there are hills or low mountains partially covered with trees. The river flows smoothly, reflecting light, with some rapids further away. The sketch is detailed and monochrome, done with pencil strokes.
