Landscape in sepia: Trees with Brook
Collections:
Classification:

ca. 1854
Medium:
Sepia oil on canvas
Dimensions:
Overall: 37 1/8 x 41 1/4 in. (94.3 x 104.8 cm)

Gift of Nora Durand Woodman
Object Number:
1930.12
Gallery Label:
This study is roughly blocked-in monochrome by the artist.
No finished exhibition painting has come to light that relates to this sepia study which may depict a subject near Jackson Falls in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Durand's energized and calligraphic brushwork in this remarkable monochromatic landscape is a tour de force of both drawing and painting.
