DescriptionFramed and glazed. Image of a mother and child ascending a short flight of steps to General Grant's tomb and Riverside Church off the Hudson River in New York.
The figures are small in the bottom right (despite being the subject title), contrasting the size and centrality of the regal, circular building (General Grant's Tomb) and church steeple (Riverside Church).
The palette utilizes warm colors in the trees, suggesting the fall season, blending with light green grass, yellow/blue sky, and dark blue steeple.
