View from Fishkill Looking to West Point is a 1825 ink by John Hill, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a quiet river winding through a valley, with rolling hills in the distance. On the right, a lone tree stands near a rocky shore where two men and a horse are gathered. The sky is bright with fluffy clouds, and the water reflects the soft light. Small boats dot the river, and the far bank has a few scattered buildings. The title tells us this is a view from Fishkill, looking toward West Point. The artist used careful shading to show depth in the landscape. Look up engraving to see how this technique works to create detailed prints.
