The Dalles of St. Louis is a 1860 ink by Alfred R. Waud, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This landscape painting depicts a serene river scene, with a gentle stream flowing through the center. The riverbanks are lined with trees and rocks, creating a sense of depth and texture. In the background, a misty forest adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The artist's use of graphite and pen creates a range of tonal values, from the dark shadows of the trees to the soft, white highlights on the water. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the painting.
