Lot Essay

By the early 1880s East’s handling of oil paint was more assured and as the present canvas indicates, he was a more confident composer. The remarkable assurance of the present work is demonstrated by delicate filigree of the foreground sapling set against the cool sweep of the mountainous terrain.
