DescriptionUnstretched. Image of the tomb of General Grant in New York. At a distant lower position, the viewer can observe the top of the structure (middle top) peering behind a line of trees (right third). A line of slanted stairs lead up to the tomb, and one figure ascends the stairs (lower middle). The sky is a mix of burnt orange, brown, and minimal blue; brown and orange is also mixed with green to evoke a changing of seasons among the trees.
