EDWARD M. BANNISTER (1828 - 1901)
Untitled.

Watercolor on stiff wove paper, 1893. 122x292 mm; 4 7/8x11 1/2 inches. Signed in watercolor, lower right recto. Dated in pencil on the verso.

Provenance: private Rhode Island collection.

This intimate, late watercolor by Bannister shows his transition away from the Barbizon style of pastoral landscape. Influenced by Impressionism, he became more interested in portraying the atmospheric beauty of the New England landscape with a freer, more painterly approach.
