Ernest Lawson, American, Canadian, French, 1873 to 1939, oil painting on canvas depicting a rural mountain landscape. Signed lower left. Framed. Ernest Lawson is an American artist, known for Landscape, floral, genre and nocturne painting. Part of a group of New York painters called The Eight. Ernest Lawson was fascinated by the urban environment of early 20th century New York and also the bucolic landscape of the Hudson River. His style was close to pure Impressionism, and many of his works focus on the influence of human beings on the landscapes, quite often with the suggestion that someone has just been a part of the scene. One of a kind artwork.
