Trees and a Stream on a Hillside is a 1853 unspecified by Jasper Francis Cropsey, a Hudson River School Movement work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows trees and a stream on a hillside. It's a simple scene, but the way the light falls on the trees is interesting. The artist likely painted this on a trip to Massachusetts in the summer of 1853, which might have inspired the choice of scenery. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of sfumato.
