Landscape with Cattle

1872
oil on canvas
20 1/4 x 34 1/2 inches

St. Johnsbury Athenaeum

St. Johnsbury, VT

Hart, James McDougalnotes

Hart, James McDougalnotes
Under the Elms is characteristic of Hart's work after the Civil War. Where he favored larger-scale depictions of unexplored wilderness in his earlier work, his later paintings are often more tranquil and refined.
