A Misty Morning at Norwich

Peter Henry Emerson

National Gallery of Art

This image shows a low vantage point over a body of water. The horizon is visible beyond a barge in the center of the composition. Two figures are guiding the barge, which is moving away. Trees with dappled shadows are on the left, and architectural structures are in the distance. The image is in sepia tone, with shades of brown and beige. Reflections of the barge and buildings are visible in the water.
