This landscape is by Jasper Francis Cropsey, an American painter associated with the Hudson River School. The canvas is almost twice as wide as it is high, conveying a broad scale of the scene where the sun sets on the other side of the Hudson River. There are two men by a rowboat near the center of the painting, the only human figures in the pastoral scene. Five of Cropsey's paintings are in the White House Collection.
