About the piece

Created in 1893 by Harry Fenn, this atmospheric wash drawing depicts the American Falls at Niagara from the vantage point of the Cave of the Winds. The composition emphasizes the sublime scale of nature, with tiny figures on a precarious wooden walkway dwarfed by the massive falls and rugged boulders in the foreground.
