About the piece

Painted in 1909 by Charles Courtney Curran, 'The Hawk' captures the luminous atmosphere of a bright summer day. Figures perched on rugged boulders gaze at a distant bird of prey, emphasizing the majestic scale of the 'mackerel sky' in a fine example of American Impressionism that brings a sense of open-air freedom to any space.
