About the piece

Painted in 1846, 'Afternoon' is an early work by American landscape master George Inness. The composition showcases the influence of the Hudson River School, depicting a harmonious relationship between nature and rural life. A majestic tree anchors the scene, while cattle and sheep graze near a reflective stream, all bathed in the gentle, atmospheric glow of late day.
