About the Item

A moody image of the Brooklyn Bridge looking toward Manhattan from the Brooklyn Side of the river. One of the nicest Brooklyn Bridge images we've seen, painted around 1915-1920, and containing elements of Ashcan, tonalism and impressionism. (Henry) Hobart Nichols (1869-1962) lived in Bronxville, NY for nearly 50 years and specialized in painting landscapes and winter scenes along the Bronx River. His work tends to the moody and tonalist. He was President of the National Academy and exhibited there, the Salmagundi Club and Grand Central Galleries many times.
