Ash, Sycamore and Oak, from The Park and the Forest 1841

"Ash, Sycamore and Oak, from The Park and the Forest" is a lithograph by English artist James Duffield Harding (1797-1863). The artwork is part of Harding's series *The Park and the Forest*, a collection of landscape prints that capture the beauty of the English countryside. This print, dating from 1841, depicts a serene river scene with trees lining the banks, with a lone figure fishing in the distance. It is a masterful example of Harding's skill in depicting light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. This artwork, currently held by the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Harding's contribution to 19th century landscape art.
