Description
Asher Brown Durand was an American painter of the Hudson River School. An accomplished engraver, he was known for his minute business card details and also for his portraits of members of high society. By the 1830s, he had turned to landscape painting. The steel engraving of the Delaware landscape was one of the last engravings created and printed by this New Jersey-born artist for the publication American Landscape (New York, 1830).
