Fort Putnam is a 1837 graphite by Seth Eastman, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a landscape with a fort in the background. There are trees and hills in the foreground. The artist used graphite on wove paper to create the image. The fort is drawn in detail, with walls and towers visible. The surrounding landscape is also detailed, with trees and hills drawn in a realistic style. The artist's use of graphite on wove paper gives the image a soft, muted tone. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the Romanticism movement.
