Impressionist River and Landscape.' Watercolor. 9 x 12 inches. Dedicated: "To my friend Hunter," and signed bottom right. Note: Monks was friends with numerous artists and was the only student of George Inness; the identity of "Hunter" remains unknown by the family, and why this painting was dedicated but remained in Monks' personal collection is a mystery.
An unusual example of American Impressionism in the artist's oevre and bearing a resembalance to Inness's mystical painting: "A Pond on Milton on the Hudson.". Provenance: From the collection of J.A.S. Monks (American painter, 1850 - 1917) and to the present consignor, his great-grandson.
