Label TextThis compact scene is notable for its resemblance to Suydam's small-scale works of the 1850s. The lyrical, gem-like idyll invites admiration not of the grandeur of the White Mountains in New Hampshire seen in the distance, but rather of the quiet intimacy of the peaceful river and its gently-sloping bank.
