About the Item

Rufus Way Smith Winter Forest Landscape Watercolor c.1880 Beautiful 19th century watercolor by listed American artist Rufus Way Smith (1840-1900). Original watercolor on paper. Dimensions 14" x 10". The lightly distressed frame measures 27.5" x 23.5". Signed lower left. Very nice antique condition. In his early work Smith depicted romantic woodland scenes in a style reminiscent of American landscapist, rendering views from inside the woods in temperate colors. Smith sketched the American landscape directly out-of-doors. He erected his easel in the woods around Cleveland, in Tinker's Creek Park near Bedford, or he took the train to Cuyahoga Falls with fellow painters.
