Lot Essay

Robert Havell moved to Sing Sing, New York (present day Ossining, New York) in 1841. The view in the present work is likely from the artist's home, which at the time had a clear view looking down towards the Hudson River. The large mountain across the river is High Tor.

We are grateful to Mr. Gerald M. Wunderlich for his assistance with the catalogue entry for this work.
