A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this painting as oil on canvas and credits John Frederick Kensett (American, 1816–1872).
The museum's collection notes: After railroad service to the area was improved in the early 1850s, the White Mountains in New Hampshire became a favored destination for tourists and artists seeking to commune with nature. New York-based Kensett painted several views, including this distant rendering across the Saco River of Mount Chocorua, one of the most distinctive peaks in the region.
