label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the spray of Niagara Falls, seen from beneath the falls themselves on the bank of the Niagara River. In the foreground, nearby rocks are visible with two small flowers in the lower right corner. At left, white water cascades down and impacts the ground, sending spray up and to the right. At upper right, a veil of mist hovers of the scene, which possibly shows a view from the Cave of the Winds.
