Summary

Description
English: This painting was done by British-born artist Robert Havell, Jr. The painting depicts the buildings of the West Point military academy from across the Hudson River. Several boats ply the water in the center of the painting, while in the lower left corner a woman carries a basket and follows two cows walking down a dirt road. Havell is considered part of the Hudson River School and he best known as being the primary engraver for John James Audubon's Birds of America (1827-38), which brought him from Britain to the United States.
