JOHN FREDERICK KENSETT. Lake George, Free Study

Lake George, Free Study. Artist: John Frederick Kensett (American, Cheshire, Connecticut 1816-1872 New York). Dimensions: 10 x 14 1/8 in. (25.4 x 35.9 cm). Date: 1872.
Kensett restricted his palette in this small study of Lake George, in upstate New York, to a limited range of contrasting colors. He applied the paint thinly, and his brushwork created a uniformly textured surface. The restrained composition is interrupted at the right by a minute white sail and two rowboats, one with a brilliant patch of red, which provide a sense of scale.
