You see a drawing of a town viewed from across a millpond, with buildings and trees surrounding the water. The drawing was made during the artist's visit to North Easton, Massachusetts, where he was painting a portrait of a local financier. This drawing shows the scene at mid-afternoon. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, look into the technique of chiaroscuro.
