In this painting, a valley flanked by rocky mountains on two sides (Yosemite Valley) is blanketed with a thin layer of snow. In the center of the canvas, a large tree with orange leaves extends vertically through the composition, standing just behind a body a shallow, still river. The middle ground is composed of trees—both pines and leafy trees with autumnally colored foliage—masked by a hazy atmosphere.
This black and white photograph shows four men on the deck of a ferry boat in the lower portion of the image. Two sit on a bench reading newspapers at the left, while two others stand at the right, looking over the side of the boat. In the distance behind them is a bridge that is under construction.
