A meticulously observed study of a New England town in early autumn, the white church steeple rising above fields and elms with Mount Washington in the distant blue. David Johnson was one of the most painstaking painters of the second-generation Hudson River School, and this small plein-air study captures the clarity of mountain air with almost photographic precision.
