Sunrise—The Pond, Easthampton, Long Island is a 1881 ink by Thomas Moran, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet pond at dawn. The water is still, with just a few ripples. On the left, tall reeds bend in the wind. In the distance, a dark shape—maybe a boat—floats near the shore. The artist used sharp lines to show light hitting the water. The sky is soft, with clouds barely sketched in. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
Thomas Moran (February 12, 1837 – August 25, 1926) was an American painter and printmaker of the Hudson River School in New York whose work often featured the Rocky Mountains.
