Description

This sketch for The Oxbow opens a broad landscape beyond a dark, pine-covered slope. The river bends across the center and right beneath a pale, golden clouded sky, making a clear contrast between the nearer wooded hill and the more open land beyond. Thomas Cole uses the turning water to organize the view, allowing its course to lead the eye through the panorama.

Made in 1836 with oil and pencil on composition board, the study is connected with Cole’s view from Mount Holyoke near Northampton, Massachusetts, after a thunderstorm. The mixed materials allow drawn structure and painted tone to share the work of defining the terrain. As a sketch, it gives particular interest to the way a panoramic view can be brought into a coherent arrangement of near and distant forms.
