View above the Falls of Schuylkill, aquatint by John Hill

An aquatint with hand-coloring shows a wide river winding past wooded banks under a pale sky. A small rowboat with two figures drifts near the right shore beside a large tree and a low stone building. Dark foliage frames the foreground rocks and reeds.
