About the piece

Painted around 1918, this landscape by Edward Willis Redfield captures the chilly, quiet beauty of the Upper Delaware in winter. The artist's masterful 'en plein air' technique is evident in the thick impasto and vibrant treatment of light reflecting off the snow and icy river currents, making it a quintessential example of American Impressionism.
