Description

Watercolor painting showing a town in a valley. The town (Waterbury, Vermont) is situated to the left of a straight railroad track running from the lower left corner of the painting to the center horizon. The buildings are carefully drafted, with pencil marks visible through the paint. Green hills rise up behind and to either side of the town, with blue mountains in the far distance. Grey clouds darken the sky at the upper right. The painting is in a gilded frame, and the backboard is cut away in sections on the reverse to reveal the handwritten title.
