From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Niagara Falls from the American Side is a 1840 ink by William James Bennett, a Romanticism work, depicting Waterfall, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a big waterfall, Niagara Falls, in this painting. It's shown from the American side. The artist made it look pretty realistic. The painting is special because it's a hand-colored aquatint. This means it was made using a technique that involves etching a design onto a plate. To learn more about how this was made, look up the technique: engraving.
William James Bennett (1787−1844), was a British-born painter and engraver, active in the United States from 1816.
