About the Item

Oil on board Signed lower right Framed A serene and intimate landscape by American artist Richard Peterson (b. 1947), rendered in oil on board. The composition captures an open field gently sloping toward the horizon, bordered by leafy trees and a rocky outcrop beneath a cloud-flecked blue sky. Birds in flight animate the tranquil scene, while the finely detailed brushwork evokes the quiet lyricism of 19th-century American realism. Signed "Peterson" at the lower right, the painting reflects the artist’s sensitivity to natural light and balance, and his technical grounding in the American landscape tradition. The work is presented in a giltwood frame with a natural linen liner, complementing its earthy palette and nostalgic charm. Stylistically, the work recalls the intimate studies of Asher B. Durand and John Frederick Kensett, with a luminist atmosphere and pastoral stillness that also echoes Worthington Whittredge. Though painted in the 20th century, Peterson's approach is firmly rooted in the aesthetics of the Hudson River School and its tonalist successors. Dimensions: Sight: 6.5" H x 5.75" W Framed: 9.5" H x 11.5" W Condition: Good vintage condition. A few pinpoint white specks visible lower right. Ready to hang. Provenance: A Private Collection: 575 Park Avenue Rye, New York About the Artist: Richard Peterson (b. 1947) is known for his realist landscapes, painted with a restrained palette and traditional technique. While working primarily outside the mainstream gallery circuit, his paintings have found homes in private collections across the East Coast.
