About the piece

Painted in 1849, this early work by George Inness captures the quiet grandeur of the American wilderness in the Hudson River School tradition. A towering stand of oaks serves as the focal point, anchoring a composition of rocky outcrops and sun-drenched hills that recede into a soft, atmospheric distance.
