Alfred C. Howland |

The Country Mansion |
 |
ALFRED C. HOWLAND (American, 1838 – 1909). Howland trained informally in Boston in the 1850’s before traveling to Europe for study at the Dusseldorf Academy and then in Paris. He was a member of the National Academy from 1882. Howland lived in New York City much of his life but summered in Williamstown, MA. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Howland populated his landscapes with lively country character, houses, farm buildings, bridges, fences and other occasional architecture of the countryside. All those characteristics are on display in this work with its elegant country mansion at the center, its several ladies at play on the front law, and the outbuildings along the river or lakeside.
