Plate 6. Skull Rock

Andrew Joseph Russell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rocky formation from a low angle. The rocks are unevenly stacked, with a person standing on the tallest point. The background is dominated by the rocks, with a hint of a horizon. The color scheme is sepia-toned, giving the image an aged look. In the foreground, there is grass with some smaller rocks, and in the distance, there are shrubs and a slightly overcast sky. Multiple people are seen around the rocks.
