content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Niagara Falls in winter, viewed from the American bank of the Niagara River north of the American Falls. At left, the curving edge of American Falls leads to the heavily wooded and snow-covered Goat Island. Beyond, the Terrapin Tower is perched on the edge of Horseshoe Falls, which curves to the right and meets the Canadian bank of the Niagara River at far right. A large hotel is visible on this bank. Barren, leafless trees are visible throughout the composition, and most prominently in the foreground at left. Above, puffy and hazy clouds hang in an otherwise open sky.
