AMERICAN NATURALIST NEW ENGLANDAMERICAN NATURALIST NEW ENGLAND LANDSCAPE PAINTING United States,Late 18th-Early 19th CenturyFinally executed work capturing a river bend with small island during Fall. Notice the vibrant white caps of the water crashing on rockery in the foreground and layered depth of the background. Signature is illegible but certainly done by a highly skilled artist. The painting exhibits influence from the work of Russell Smith (1812-1896), Worthington Whittredge (1820-1910), and their contemporaries.
