About the piece

Painted in 1915 by Philip Little, this impressionist work captures the energetic flow of the Upper Ipswich River. Using a thick, dappled application of oil paint, Little conveys the interplay of light on rushing water and the rich, warm tones of the surrounding forest. The composition draws the eye inward along the rocky stream, framed by the vertical rhythms of slender trees.
