Mountain and River Scene

William M. Hart (American, 1823-1894) (Artist)
1859
pencil on paper, heightened with white
(18th and 19th Centuries )

Hart was a Scottish-born American landscape and cattle painter, and Hudson River School artist. This drawing shows two figures on the river bank. The female figure seems to look down at a seated male figure who appears to be sketching. His younger brother was also an artist and they worked in similar styles (see WAM 37.1566).

Inscription

[Signature and date] lower center: "Wm. Hart 59"
