Situated on the eastern flank of the White Mountains with open fields and a spectacular view of snow-peaked Mount Washington, North Conway, New Hampshire, was the area’s first important artists’ colony, flourishing from 1850 to the 1880s. Hotchkiss probably painted this work, his largest and most ambitious early composition, in his New York studio during winter 1856–57, using sketches from his travels of the previous summer.
DescriptionThis view was taken from Sunset Hill in North Conway, a favorite sketching ground for artist who gathered here in the 1850s.SignedSigned and dated at lower left: "T.H. HOTCHKISS 1857"
