This signed 1851 watercolor captures a peaceful Gothic Revival-style home nestled beneath tall trees, with soft washes of green and terracotta guiding the eye along a winding path. The handwritten note on the back identifies the home as “Knoll,” located in Fishkill, NY—built by Charles L. Mead, Esq. in 1848 and sketched just three years later. A quiet, romantic glimpse of American architectural history preserved in paint.
No glass, original wood frame. Dimensions: 23” x 15.25”
