Wapwallopen Creek, Pennsylvania 1852

Thomas Addison Richards's "Wapwallopen Creek, Pennsylvania" is a pencil drawing from 1852 that captures the beauty of a cascading waterfall nestled within a rugged landscape. The artist's delicate, yet precise lines convey the texture of the rocks and the flow of the water, creating a sense of depth and movement. Richards's meticulous attention to detail, characteristic of his landscape drawings, imbues the scene with a sense of tranquility and natural wonder. The work is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
