As an original etcher, Joseph Foxcroft Cole was much influenced by the etched art of Charles Jacques and other great Barbizon landscape masters. Along with William Morris Hunt, John Foxcroft Cole was most influential in promoting Barbizon art in America. It was French Barbizon art, in fact, which provided a major catalyst for the great American landscape movements of the nineteenth century, such as the Hudson River School.

The etched work measures 9.50 X 7.50 inches in good condition on soft beige paper.
