This watercolor depicts a view looking north towards Pollepel Island, known today as Bannerman's Island, with Storm King Mountain on the west and Breakneck Mountain on the east. At the time of this rendering, Pollepel was still an abandoned island, without the castle that Francis Bannerman began building in 1901 as an armament warehouse, and exiting today as a ruin. The island is now a New York State Park.
