About the piece
Painted in 1885 by American artist T.C. Steele, this Tonalist work depicts Pleasant Run in Indiana. The composition masterfully balances the deep shadows of the wooded bank against the luminous, shimmering reflections in the water, creating a quiet, contemplative mood characteristic of the early Hoosier Group.
