About this work

Thomas Cole's River in the Catskills, painted in 1843, shows a broad valley with a winding river reflecting the pale sky, with a rowboat drifting near the bank. A figure in a red jacket stands on the grassy foreground beside a dog, while a steam train crosses a bridge in the middle distance beneath layered blue mountains. The painting is held by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
