A stunning Hudson River School oil on panel painting renowned American Hudson River School artist Asher B. Durand (1796–1886).We have been studying this work for awhile and believe it is correct. The work was discovered in France and shipped to us because they believed it would be more appropriately offered here in the Hudson Valley. Very hard to photograph

Originally a skilled engraver, Durand transitioned to painting and gained widespread acclaim for his luminous and detailed portrayals of nature. His seminal work, Kindred Spirits (1849), remains a cornerstone of American art.
