This painting shows a quiet summer morning in the countryside. A woman walks on a dirt path. Cows graze nearby. The light feels warm and soft. James Merritt Ives often worked with Currier & Ives to make prints of American life. This painting feels like one of those prints come to life. The colors are bright but not too sharp. Ives painted mostly scenes like this. If you like this, check out Currier & Ives prints at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
