"View of the North River from the North West Corner of Fort Clinton—West Point" is a watercolor painting by Seth Eastman, created in 1837. The painting depicts a scenic vista of the Hudson River as seen from Fort Clinton at West Point, New York. The composition features a sweeping view of the river winding through a mountainous landscape, with lush foliage and a few distant sailboats adding to the scene's tranquility. Eastman, an accomplished artist and military officer, is known for his evocative depictions of American landscapes and Native American life. This work, a fine example of landscape painting, showcases Eastman's skill in capturing the natural beauty of the Hudson River Valley.
