The Palisades
1941

A serene landscape painting depicting a group of people enjoying a leisurely day by a riverbank. Lush greenery and towering cliffs frame the scene, while a red canoe is being handled by two individuals near the water's edge. In the background, soft clouds hover above a distant cityscape.
