- Description
- Landscape sketch showing a view of two figures in a canoe on a pond in or near Hartford, Connecticut. In the foreground at right, barren, leafless trees line the bank and frame the scene. In the middle distance at center, a canoe is shown floating on the pond with two figures. The pond itself extends around curving banks into the background, where more leafless trees grow on distant banks. Above, puffy clouds are faintly rendered in the sky.
