Thomas Cole's 1838 "Sketch for 'Dream of Arcadia'" is a landscape painting in the Hudson River School style, known for its romantic depiction of nature. Cole, a key figure in American landscape painting, was born in 1801 and died in 1848. The sketch features a picturesque valley with rolling hills, a winding river, and a bridge, all bathed in a soft, golden light. The composition captures the serenity and beauty of the American wilderness, a theme central to Cole's work. This study is believed to be a preparatory sketch for his larger canvas "Dream of Arcadia."
