Landscape, Field and Woods is a beautiful and fresh watercolor study, and a scarce example of a plein air sketch by this important Rhode Island landscape artist. This is only the third watercolor by the artist to come to auction. Similar sketches in both pencil and watercolor are in the collection of the Amistad Research Center, Tulane University, New Orleans.
