View Across A Lake or River to Mountains (from Sketchbook)
Thomas Hewes Hinckley American
Not on view
Hinckley painted landscapes chiefly as a background to his portraits of wild and domesticated animals. This sketchbook (1992.373.1 recto–.27) contains thirty-four drawings in graphite and watercolor and appears to have been filled during a tour that the artist probably began near the Delaware Water Gap and extended north into the Catskill Mountains and Adirondacks of New York State. Few of the drawings in this book, however, can be linked to Hinckley’s known paintings after 1864, and the majority of them represent not merely selected motifs, but discrete compositions that often assume the character of engraved vignettes.
