New England Coast 1835 - 1900

"New England Coast" is a black and white drawing by William Stanley Haseltine, a noted American artist known for his landscapes. This drawing showcases Haseltine's masterful use of detail in depicting the rugged New England coastline. The artist's focus on the natural world and the stark beauty of the rocks and the sea is reminiscent of the Hudson River School, a group of landscape painters who emphasized the sublime aspects of nature. The piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into Haseltine's meticulous approach to capturing the essence of the American landscape.
