Note

As a key figure of the Hudson River School, Jervis McEntee was renowned for his depictions of
natural landscapes, particularly the Catskill Mountains and scenes from the American Northeast. This
painting is a quintessential example of his autumn landscapes, perfectly capturing his unique perception
and expression of nature.
