Oil on canvasboard by Joan Howe depicting the interior of the Fort East Martello Museum. The composition focuses on the entrance casemate, with an open-air passage providing access to the central courtyard. At right, the view extends down the casemate hallway toward the exhibition area. A brick archway forms the central architectural feature of the scene, opening onto a softly lit interior space. Potted plants and varied green foliage occupy the foreground and continue through the archway, contrasting with the fort’s brick and masonry surfaces.Type of Painting
