There are some superb things under this picture for it went through various states and phases, as indeed many of Inness’s pictures did as he reached toward the goal known to his own mind. It was a favorite with the master, and is now ripening with that unctious mellowing which comes to all great works. It ranks with the great pictures of any master of any school & amply justifies our belief that George Inness was the peer of the greatest. I congratulate you again.
