About the Item

This serene Hudson River School painting by George Wright captures a peaceful moment of pastoral life, where three cows rest and graze under a wide, luminous sky. The composition gently draws the viewer’s eye across the warm meadow and toward the distant blue hills, offering a strong sense of depth and stillness. Wright’s brushwork is delicate but has purpose, giving texture to the grass, atmosphere to the sky, and character to each animal. This work reflects the Hudson River School’s interest in the harmony between nature and rural life, emphasizing a quiet beauty often overlooked. This painting is signed lower right and comes with frame, and is in excellent condition. This is a beautiful example of 19th-century American landscape painting.
