Attributed to Joseph Hidley, this naive landscape depicts a serene view of a river. The salmon luminous sky, pair of figures in the center, house, bystander all contribute to the attribution.

According to Warren Broderick, a Rensselaer County, NY historian, author and expert on Joseph Hidley: "It's a Hidley. An early one (1850s). It's one of his pastoral landscapes that was probably meant to depict an imaginary American landscape, seeing that it has no castles or chalets in it as a European scene of his would have."
