About the Item
Sparse Forest Scene by William McGregor Paxton is a testament to the artist's mastery of light, atmosphere, and nuanced detail. Known for his contributions to American Impressionism, Paxton brings his refined technique to this landscape, which subtly departs from his more typical figure compositions.
In this painting, Paxton captures the quiet, almost melancholic beauty of a sparsely populated forest. The trees, thin and widely spaced, allow dappled sunlight to filter through their delicate branches, creating a soft interplay of light and shadow on the forest floor. The subdued palette, dominated by greens and browns emphasizes the mood of the scene.
Paxton's keen eye for detail is evident in the fluid brushstrokes of the leaves, the grand stretch of the tree bark, and the gentle undulations of the ground. Yet, it's the atmospheric quality of the light that gives the painting its unique character.

Born in Pittsburgh in 1879 to Nicholas and Katherine Sotter, George William Sotter painted the rivers and mills of that city in his early youth. He apprenticed with several stained-glass studios there prior to becoming a partner in the studio of Horace Rudy in Pittsburgh around 1901.
