The Last Hour 19th-20th century

"The Last Hour" is a photographic print from the late 19th or early 20th century, taken by Joseph T. Keiley. This evocative image captures the quiet beauty of a sailboat at anchor, silhouetted against a dramatic sunset over a mountainous landscape. The use of soft light and muted tones creates a sense of peace and tranquility, inviting the viewer to contemplate the end of the day and the mystery of the approaching night. The photograph's intimate scale and focus on detail suggest a personal connection to the subject, further enhancing the sense of quiet contemplation it evokes. Keiley’s photographic works, including "The Last Hour", are held in prominent institutions such as the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
