Plate 23. On the Mountains of Green River

Andrew Joseph Russell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape view from a high vantage point looking across a rocky terrain. A steep cliff rises on the right side with people standing at the top. The horizon is placed low in the image, providing a panoramic view. In the distance, another rugged formation rises from the land. The color palette is monochromatic with earth tones. The scene conveys a sense of vastness and natural beauty.
