About Artwork: (1872) "In the summer of 1872, when Kensett painted exclusively from and around the island he owned in Long Island Sound, he explored the dramatic spectacles of sunrises, sunsets, dawns, and twilights more liberally than he had previously. In studies such as this, he focused on the uninflected contours of the water and coastal topography, rendering the various tones and tints of the crimson sky and its reflection in the water. Dark islands and a boat in the foreground make distinctive silhouettes, enhancing the mood and drama of the early evening setting." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
