Landscape after Ruisdael Thomas Doughty (American, 1793-1856). Landscape after Ruisdael, 1846. Oil on canvas, 32 1/16 x 39 5/16 in. ( x cm). Thomas Doughty was one of the first American artists to devote himself solely to landscape painting.

Copying played an important educational role for this self-trained artist. His earlier Harbor Landscape presents a pleasing, albeit formulaic, vista of a calm lake framed by trees in the foreground.
