Jalfe, this large naive landscape depicts an idealized view of the world. Between 1609-1664, The Netherlands controlled the Hudson River Valley. One major outpost was the present-day Kingston. In 1828, the Delaware-Hudson Canal linked Honedale, Pennsylvania with Kingston. This, along with the Erie canal at Albany, transformed the nation's economy. The serene river and mountains form a backdrop to the perfectly centered bridge. The narrative depicts a quiet domestic scene with a simple frame house. Around the house are the mother and children, while a man heads off with a dog. The luminous sky and abundance of water and mountains are all trademarks of the Hudson River School.  Signed "C H Jalfe Ptr"--most likely a Dutch name. The frame is likely the original. Made of mahogany, it is a two-piece compound ogee design.  This large painting is oil on canvas and remains in excellent condition on original canvas, stretcher and frame. From a collection in Boston. Dimensions: 35"x 27" (painting); 43" x 36" (frame). Place a Bid!
