About the piece

Painted in 1884, 'Gray Day, Goochland' is a quintessential example of George Inness's late Tonalist style. Moving away from literal representation, Inness uses a muted palette of earthy browns, smoky greys, and mossy greens to evoke a deep sense of mood and contemplation. The skeletal trees and solitary chimney create a haunting yet peaceful composition typical of the American landscape tradition.
