Sketchbook George Henry Hall (American, 1825-1913). Sketchbook, various dates, 1852-1893. Graphite and opaque watercolor on cream, blue, beige, medium thick, slightly textured wove papers, Closed: 11 1/16 x 16 13/16 x 13/16 in. (28.1 x 42.7 x 2.1 cm). George Henry Halls large sketchbook contains highly finished images of locations in Italy and the northeastern United States, with the majority of pages devoted to his Italian travels in 1852. Since Hall is primarily known as a genre and still-life painter, this sketchbook provides a rare glimpse into his experiments with landscape composition. Executed naturalistically in graphite with accents of white watercolor, the drawings follow the picturesque landscape conventions established by the Hudson River School. These conventions include framing a distant panoramic vista with foreground trees or other vertical elements. American Art various dates, 1852-1893
