About the piece

This mid-19th-century oil painting by Victor de Grailly captures the iconic view of the Connecticut River from Mount Holyoke. In the foreground, elegantly dressed figures enjoy the vista from a rocky outcrop, providing a human element to the sprawling valley and the dramatic curve of the river below.
