Description

WORTHINGTON WHITTREDGE (1820–1910)

Graphite drawing heightened with Chinese white, 9 1/16 x 13 3/16 in. (sight size)
Inscribed (at lower left): Compton Hollow / N H.; (at upper right): Top Rocks warm reddish brown

EX COLL.: [Thomas Colville, New Haven, Connecticut, 1977]; to private collection, 1977 until the present

In contrast to the large groups of drawings by Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, Frederic E. Church, John F. Kensett, Jervis McEntee, Jasper F. Cropsey, and various other artists of the Hudson River School that have survived, very few drawings by Whittredge have surfaced.

Compton Hollow, now Campton Hollow, was settled about 1765.  It is in the County of Grafton, in the foothills of the White Mountains, in central New Hampshire.
