About the piece
Painted in 1855 by Asher Brown Durand, a leading figure of the Hudson River School, this work captures the sublime beauty of the American wilderness. The composition leads the eye from a rocky foreground stream through a sun-drenched valley where a lone settler works his first harvest, all beneath the watchful peaks of the Adirondacks.
