A Summer Afternoon 

"A Summer Afternoon" is a Hudson River School landscape painting by Asher Brown Durand, a leading figure in the American art movement. The painting depicts a tranquil scene of a stream winding through a lush forest, with cattle and sheep grazing peacefully by the water's edge. Durand's signature detail, the depiction of light filtering through the foliage, creates a sense of serenity and warmth. This work exemplifies the Hudson River School's emphasis on the beauty and grandeur of the American wilderness.
