A Thick Morning on the Hudson
1899–1906

A watercolor painting depicting a serene scene with sailboats on a misty river, likely the Hudson, with subtle hues and a sense of calmness. A dock with a figure and a boat with a tall mast are visible in the foreground, while other sailboats appear faintly in the background through the haze. The image includes handwritten text at the bottom that reads "A thick morning on the Hudson."
