1897
Ernest Peixotto sketched this stark, wintry scene at West Point in November 1897, capturing two mysterious, tunnel-like openings dug into the rocky ground. Using delicate ink lines and soft washes, he creates a sense of depth that pulls the eye from the rugged foreground up to a serene, hazy river valley. Bare trees and evergreens dot the landscape, evoking the chill of a late autumn day. It's a fascinating, quiet glimpse into the historic military academy's grounds, rendered with a melancholic beauty that feels frozen in time.
