Kauterskill Clove (from Sketchbook of Landscape and Animal Subjects)
Thomas Hewes Hinckley American
Not on view
Hinckley painted landscapes chiefly as a background to his portraits of wild and domesticated animals. The sketchbook including this landscape appears to have been filled during a tour that Hinckley probably began near the Delaware Water Gap and extended north into the Catskill Mountains and Adirondacks of New York Sate. 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, such as this beautiful drawing of Kaaterskill Clove, a favorite subject of the Hudson River School of landscape painters.
