Rectangular color engraving of a sunrise over the Hudson River from Bull Hill: the foreground consists of a cliff with orange, green, and purple vegetation/leaves growing on it; a tree branch and a moss-covered rock jut out from the edge of this cliff extending vertically over the river; a man in a white hat and white pants and pinkish-brown coat kneels on the rock and looks out toward the river; the river is bordered by two rocky mountains with green vegetation growing on them; from behind the mountain on the viewer's left are yellow rays of a sunrise which casts sunlight over the viewer's right half of the river and shadows over the left half which curves in front of the left mountain; several sailboats of varying size travel on the river; there are more hills and mountains in the background on the horizon;
the engraving is surrounded by a white border and has "W.H. BARTLETT" written immediately below viewer's left corner of image; "E. Benjamin" is below the right corner; "HUDSON HIGHLANDS. (From Bull Hill.)" is in the border in bottom center.
