The Pescatory

Samuel F. B. Morse

National Gallery of Art

This pencil drawing shows a perspective close to a body of water, looking at a stone bridge structure. The scene focuses on the immediate landscape with emphasis on the bridge. Two arched openings are visible under the bridge, with a small building on top and a figure to its side. The brushwork is light, creating a soft texture. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of gray. Tall trees surround the bridge, with water reflecting the elements faintly.
