George Inness was an important figure in the Tonalist movement, a progressive style of painting that developed in the 1880s in a quest to harness the spirituality of the natural landscape. Often depicting dusk or sunset, paintings such as the one seen here are characterized by misty atmospheres and muted tones, heightening the inward-looking figures that roam the empty space.
