A Creek in St. Thomas (Virgin Islands)

"A Creek in St. Thomas (Virgin Islands)" is a painting, created in 1856 by an unknown artist. Currently, it is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art. The painting is relatively small, measuring 0.322 meters in width and 0.245 meters in height.

The painting depicts a serene creek at sunset. The water reflects the warm hues of the sky, creating a sense of tranquility. Lush vegetation, including palm trees and bamboo, lines the banks of the creek, adding to the tropical ambiance. To the right, a steep hillside rises, while in the distance, the creek opens up to a wider body of water. Two figures are barely visible on the shore in the middle ground, perhaps fishing or enjoying the evening air. The overall impression is one of peaceful solitude in a beautiful, natural setting.
