Norfolk from Gosport, Virginia, Picturesque Views of American Scenery
A hand-colored aquatint of a river harbor under a cloudy, luminous sky. Sailing boats with furled and raised sails ride the water, while small rowboats and a distant town line the shore beside tall trees on the left. The composition recedes calmly toward the horizon.
