Owasco Lake, Ensenore Glen House

William H. Rau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sepia-toned photograph of a scene captured from a slightly elevated point of view. The horizon is low, marked by a line of tree-covered hills behind buildings. In the center is a multi-story white wooden building with balconies, while to the left is a dark-roofed building with windows and an awning. A dirt path intersects with railroad tracks leading towards the central building. The color palette is warm, with a vintage feel and contrast between light structures and dark foliage.
