About the Item
This charming Hudson River School study by Virginia Granbery captures a tender and distinctly American moment: children playing baseball in a sunlit clearing. Painted by one of the few women artists affiliated with the movement, this piece blends pastoral beauty with the spirit of youthful play. Granbery’s characteristic attention to natural light and gentle landscape contours is evident in the rolling hills, delicate tree lines, and soft blue sky that frame the lively figures.
Rendered with both technical precision and emotional warmth, the composition balances serenity with motion. The children’s gestures feel spontaneous, their red and white clothing adding small bursts of color that guide the viewer’s eye across the field. A rare and delightful example of 19th-century American life through a female painter’s lens. This painting comes unsigned but has been authenticated by scholars on this artist.

Hudson River School was an informal association was America's first so-called school of painting and the dominant landscape style until the Civil War. The name derives from a group of 19th-century landscape painters working in New York state.
