About this work

A nocturnal swamp scene rendered in watercolor shows tall bare-trunked trees rising from dark, reflective water beneath a pale moon. A small fire glows near the water's edge, and a lone standing figure is visible on the right. This drawing, titled View in the Chickahominy Swamp, was made by William McIlvaine in 1862.
