About the piece

Painted circa 1916, this work by Ernest Lawson captures the quiet atmosphere of winter on the Harlem River. Lawson, a member of 'The Eight,' was celebrated for his luminous, almost jewel-like application of color, which is evident here in the shimmering reflection of snow and the soft, atmospheric haze of the city in the background.
