About the piece

Created around 1911 by Ernest Lawson, a leading member of the American Impressionist group 'The Eight,' this work illustrates his signature 'crushed jewel' style. The scene depicts a winding road descending the Palisades, rendered with thick, energetic brushwork that creates a shimmering, tactile surface. Warm ochre and sienna tones in the rocky hillside contrast with the cool, luminous blues of the sky and distant water.
