content: Landscape sketch showing a distant view of Horseshoe Falls of the Niagara River, as seen from the Canadian bank. Viewed frontally, the edge of the falls stretches horizontally across the composition. The falls themselves are represented by vertical striations of white gouache at right, while a plume of mist drifts across the river to the left. Closer to the viewer, the river's white, churning waters are visible.
