River Front, New York, in Winter is a 1912 oil by Hamilton Easter Field, a American Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting shows a cityscape of New York City in winter. The city is painted in shades of brown, with a few buildings and structures visible. In the foreground, there is a body of water, possibly a river, with a few boats or ships on it. The sky above is a dull gray-brown color, suggesting a cold and overcast day. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the depiction of the buildings and the water. The use of brown tones gives the painting a somber and muted feel, which suits the winter scene.
