DescriptionThe small building with a cupola on the left is the Academy. The Congregational Church is at the far right and houses are behind it. A picket fence is in the right foreground. Two men in top hats stand nearby; the man sketching is probably a self-portrait of the artist. Two women standing face the Academy.
