What the image shows
A monochrome wash drawing in a light mat and frame showing a wide panoramic view of a riverside city across open water. In the foreground, bare and leafy trees and rocky ground frame the scene, with two small figures standing on the bank at lower right. The town's rooftops, church spires and a hilltop fort with a flag lie along the far shore, with sailing boats and small craft on the water, and a printed caption in the mount below reads 'West View of Montreal in 1803'.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
