Note du spécialiste

This painting will be included in a forthcoming volume of the catalogue raisonné of the works of Jasper Francis Cropsey by the Newington-Cropsey Foundation, Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.

While this work has been historically identified as Lake George, the composition more closely resembles Cropsey's paintings of Greenwood Lake in Orange County, New York.
