About the piece

Painted in 1886 by Thomas Moran, this masterpiece captures the serene beauty of the Wissahickon Valley. The composition leads the eye along the reflecting waters of the creek, framed by hillsides ablaze with fall colors, while a small group of cattle adds a peaceful pastoral touch to the scene.
