The painting is called Hudson; and Claverack Creek. It was made in 1866 by Andrew Fisher Bunner. The artist used graphite on wove paper to create this work, which is a landscape, and this combination of medium and genre is interesting because it shows how Bunner worked with simple materials to depict a scene. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Realism.
