Hart features figures along the Hudson with his typical and highly desirable atmosphere and sky. The larger example of this recently sold at aucton. Packaged in a superb period frame.
The condition and quality of the painting are exceptional. Hart's handling of color and atmosphere with minimal brushwork is what makes this special.

One of the most beautiful small gems and master work by Hart. Art critics of the day noted the beauty of this particular study and others from this excursion to Tappan Zee. The larger example of this scene recently sold at auction.
A very early and important work by Hart as he portrays an earlier romantic Hudson River School scene.
