A Calm Watering Place--Extensive and Boundless Scene with Cattle, 1816. Creator: Alvan Fisher
A Calm Watering Place--Extensive and Boundless Scene with Cattle, 1816. In this prime example of Fishers early rural pictures, a ferry delivers two wealthy women and their belongings ashore, as a herd of especially handsome cattle rests in the foreground. Boston-based Fisher was among the first American artists to specialize in landscape, recalling that " This species of painting being novel in this part of the country, I found it a more lucrative, pleasant and distinguishing branch of the art than portrait painting."
