About the piece

Painted around 1905, Ernest Lawson's 'Springtime, Harlem River' is a luminous example of American Impressionism. The work features Lawson's characteristic impasto technique, with thick layers of paint capturing the shimmering light and delicate greens of budding trees overlooking the calm waters of the river.
