View near Rutland, Vermont

Oil on canvas

Purchase with funds from Mrs. J. Mack
Robinson, 1993.100

This landscape is among the first paintings
Asher B. Durand made after he abandoned
a successful career as an engraver. Detailed
and precise, the landscape reveals a human
presence in nature-children harvesting wild
berries as a coach winds its way to a distant
town.
