label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the Niagara River near the Whirlpool, downstream from Niagara Falls themselves. The river's churning water, highlighted in white gouache, extends from the foreground, through the middle distance, and into the background. Also extending from foreground to background are the steep, wooded banks and cliffsides that hem-in the river at right and left. These cliffs converge and overlap in the background, creating a rugged horizon line due to the dense treetops.
