Important legal note: We try the best we can to depict our art products with as many details as possible and to demonstrate them visually on the product detail pages. Nonetheless, the tone of the print products, as well as the printing might vary to a certain extent from the presentation on your device's screen. Depending on the settings of your screen and the quality of the surface, colors can unfortunately not be printed as realistically as the digital version shown here. Considering that all our art reproductions are printed and processed manually, there might also be slight discrepancies in the exact position and the size of the motif.

Kensett normally left the dramatic spectacles of sunrises, sunsets, dawns and twilights to colleagues such as Frederic Church and Sanford Gifford. However, especially in summer 1872, when he painted exclusively from and around the island he owned in Long Island Sound, he explored light and color more liberally than he ever had, his attention confined daily to the uninflected contours of the water and coastal topography. The better then to render the various tones and tints of the sky and its reflection in the water in delicious studies such as this, where earthly features are lost in silhouette and the air and water briefly acquire the warmth of human flesh.
