Caroline Lindsay (1820-1880) was a prolific painter in the mid 19th century known for her landscapes of American scenery as well as European landscapes depicting places to which she had traveled. ?Lucerne? is one such landscape of the beautiful Swiss city along the edge of Lake Lucerne. Lindsay captured a quiet moment in her composition as two small fishing boats linger offshore in hopes of a bountiful catch. Lindsay used an almost monochromatic color palette, and a combination of watercolor and pencil to create the loose suggestion of towering mountains in the background. Only the house on the shore and the small fishing boats have been articulated with fine details, making them come to life against the hazy horizon. An area of the white paper can be seen in the background which the eye recognizes as snow-capped peaks. The neutral, taupe tones of the composition are complimented perfectly by the light olive green double mat under which the print is mounted. The bottom mat has a unique fibrous texture that adds a wonderful richness to the presentation and mimics the loose brushstrokes within the piece. The exquisitely ornate gold frame that this beautiful Lindsay work is housed in adds an instant air of elegance and sophistication. This gorgeous and affordable piece, including the frame, measures a total of 20 ¾?x16 ¾? and would be an instant star in any collection of 19th century landscapes and watercolors.
