Hudson Bridge (George Washington Bridge), Louis Lozowick, lithograph

Model in Red Robe, Harriet Murray, acrylic on artist board

In the center foreground, a man wearing a hat, red shirt, and blue trousers pushes a wheelbarrow loaded with hay and a pitchfork. The solitary figure walks along a path lined with grass and bushes. A stone wall is visible in the middleground, with tall, full deciduous trees populating the background behind the wall. Typical of Bannister's work, and Barbizon pictures in general, various shades of green and brown comprise the overall palette.
