"Newburyport" is a graphite drawing by American artist Peter Moran created in 1882. The drawing depicts a distant view of a small town nestled amidst a landscape. The simplified forms and light, loose strokes of Moran's hand lend a sense of tranquility to the scene. A prominent tree in the foreground provides visual interest while drawing attention to the town beyond. The composition hints at the rural beauty of this coastal New England town.
