About this artwork

Landscape study of a craggy outcropping of rocks at the base of the American Falls at Niagara. Verdant growth fills the foreground and leads to several sharp rocks, visible at center. Grey and white mist fills the air beyond, and the waters of the Niagara River are visible at right.
