Painting of a Hudson River Scene - Redpath
Hudson River landscape painting, oil on panel, unframed, signed “Redpath 1866”. The painting is in its original untouched condition and is in very good condition.
Ralph Redpath was a mid-19th-century American folk artist who was primarily active in New York State's Mohawk Valley and Hudson River Valley regions. He painted in a naive, early American folk art style. His work is frequently compared to the bold, stylized landscapes of Thomas Chambers. Redpath's landscapes frequently featured small details that repeated across different works. For instance, a signature motif includes a man wearing a hat and holding a walking stick, positioned to stare out at a body of water. : A piece identified as Redpath's work from the Garbisch Collection is preserved in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art.
