About the piece
Created by American artist Henry Inman in 1823, this oil painting captures the pivotal moment from Washington Irving's classic story. The work uses a rich, atmospheric palette and dramatic shadows to convey the mystery of the Hudson Valley woods, where the protagonist discovers the world has changed around him during his twenty-year sleep.
