content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Niagara Falls by moonlight, as seen from below the falls themselves. At right, water cascades vertically into the river below, sending up a plume of mist. In the lower right corner, nearby rocks are loosely rendered. In the distance at center, the opposite site of the curving falls is visible. At upper center, the moon presides over the scene.
