About the Item

Oil on canvas board, unsigned. A charming small-scale landscape in the manner of the Hudson River School, depicting a tranquil river scene with figures in a sailboat drifting past a wooded shoreline. A golden light washes the surrounding trees and distant mountain ridges, while a finely painted group of figures in bright dress suggests narrative intimacy amid the grandeur of nature. Housed in an ornate, period-style gilt frame with grapevine and foliate detailing. Dimensions: Sight: 5.75" H x 3.75" W Frame: 11.75" H x 9.75" W Condition: Good overall. Minor surface discoloration and edge abrasions consistent with age. Not examined outside of frame. The frame could benefit from being tightened up. Provenance: A Private Collection: 1175 York Avenue, New York City Reverse bears an original label for Fisher & Adler & Co., 48 Fulton Street, New York – importers, publishers, and dealers in engravings and chromolithographs, active ca. 1870–1900. Label Note – Fisher, Adler & Co., New York: The reverse of the frame bears a printed label for Fisher, Adler & Co., a New York firm active in the late 19th century, located at 48 Fulton Street in lower Manhattan. The company described itself as "Importers & Publishers of Engravings, Chromos, Photographs, Etchings, Autotypes, and Photogravures," and catered to a growing market of middle- and upper-class collectors interested in European and American fine art reproductions and original paintings. While Fisher, Adler & Co. were known primarily as print and picture dealers, their stock often included small original paintings, particularly in the Hudson River School and genre painting traditions, either by emerging artists or as tourist works meant to appeal to domestic and European clientele. The label affirms that this work was retailed through or distributed by this well-regarded firm during the late 19th or early 20th century, situating the painting within the commercial New York art market of the post-Civil War period. Labels of this type are relatively scarce and add desirable historical context and provenance to the artwork. Attribution: While unsigned, the brushwork and atmospheric style relate closely to the second-generation Hudson River School painters such as Jasper Francis Cropsey, James McDougal Hart, or regional followers working in the Adirondacks and Catskills. The small size and delicate rendering are also reminiscent of cabinet paintings or tourist landscapes produced for New York patrons and the print market.
