Moonrise

A hazy landscape of dusk or night shows a large orange moon rising above a distant tree line, with a dark tree at left framing the scene. A small pale figure stands in a dim grassy field, and soft brushwork blurs the horizon into warm, misty tones.

Español: Salida de la luna, George Inness, 1891

Un paisaje brumoso al atardecer o de noche muestra una gran luna anaranjada que sale sobre una línea de árboles lejana, con un árbol oscuro a la izquierda que enmarca la escena. Una pequeña figura pálida está de pie en un campo de hierba tenue, y las pinceladas suaves difuminan el horizonte en tonos cálidos y nebulosos.

Português: Nascer da lua, George Inness, 1891

Uma paisagem enevoada do crepúsculo ou da noite mostra uma grande lua alaranjada nascendo acima de uma linha distante de árvores, com uma árvore escura à esquerda emoldurando a cena. Uma pequena figura pálida está em pé em um campo de grama escura, e pinceladas suaves dissolvem o horizonte em tons quentes e nebulosos.
