Hunting by the Brook

Trained at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and winner of the prestigious Paige Traveling Scholarship, Ripley refined his craft abroad before turning to the outdoor subjects he loved. His sporting watercolors earned national acclaim, featured in Life magazine and exhibited at major institutions including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Condition
Very good. There is light toning to the board but in general it has held up well, and the pigments look strong, with no significant fading. There are a couple of smudges in the margins and verso, presumably from the artist, and within the image itself he appears to have reworked part of the sky and rightmost yellow tree and nearby bare branches.
