In a desolate, wintery landscape stand a group of leafless trees with tall grasses beyond.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler (American (North American))
The Dam Wood

This landscape painting shows rounded green mountains receding into the distance and soft sunlight streaming through billowy white clouds. In the foreground, painted in tones of dark brown and green, there is a rocky formation and a small waterfall formed by a stream passing over the rocks. One tall tree with lush greenery stands on the far left and a smaller tree frames the scene on the right. In the central part of the painting there is a stone house and pond. A few figures are scattered in this grassy area and someone stands in the open doorway of the house. The background shows a wide valley extending into the distance. Spots of sunlight highlight areas of the landscape such as the waterfall, the house, tree formations and the hillside above the house.
Thomas Doughty
Home in the Hills
1835 – 1845
Gift of Dr. Irving and Shirley Levitt
1983/2.241
Two figures sit on the ground next to a young tree that stands supported by a stake. The figure on the left is a young woman wearing a straw hat and possibly knitting.  The figure to the right is a toddler, who dons a bonnet.  The tree's foliage fills the image at the upper right. A fence in the upper part of the image separates the two figures from buildings in the distance, seen through the tree's branches. Presumably they are in an area adjacent to a residential neighborhood.
