A Brook (from Hosack Album) 1800 - 1878

"A Brook (from Hosack Album)" is a graphite drawing by American artist George Harvey, created between 1800 and 1878. The drawing depicts a peaceful woodland scene with a flowing brook in the center foreground, framed by trees on either side. Harvey, known for his landscapes, captures the natural beauty of the scene with delicate detail and a sense of tranquility, demonstrating the artistic movement known as Romanticism, prevalent in the 19th century. The piece, currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is an example of Harvey's mastery of graphite, creating a sense of depth and realism in the composition.
