About the piece

Created in 1899 by William J. Forsyth, this work captures the gentle movement of river rapids through a soft-focus lens. The atmospheric rendering of the distant buildings and the warm, earthy tones of the surrounding foliage create a contemplative and peaceful scene typical of the late 19th-century American landscape tradition.
