About the piece

Painted in 1907 by American Impressionist Ernest Lawson, this work exemplifies the artist's celebrated heavy impasto and atmospheric treatment of light. Part of 'The Eight,' Lawson captures the quiet transition of winter on the Harlem River, with blocks of ice floating through a composition of spindly trees and distant buildings rendered in a harmonious, muted palette.
