label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of a snow-covered Terrapin Point at Niagara Falls, New York. In the immediate foreground, the nearby rocks and terrain of Goat Island are blanketed in snow. At center left, a wooden bridge passes over a rivulet and leads to the point, where the cylindrical Terrapin Tower is prominently situated at center. Behind it, the U-shaped portion of Horseshoe Falls curves through the middle distance and into the background, where the steep and heavily wooded Canadian bank of the Niagara River is visible. Several houses are perched atop the embankment at center left. Light and mottled clouds hang in the sky above.
