Twilight in the Cedars at Darien, Connecticut

John Frederick Kensett

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape painting of a forest with trees, dirt road, and grassy field. The trees are tall and thin with green leaves and brown trunks. The dirt road curves through the bottom right corner. The sky above the trees is blue with a few pink clouds near the horizon. The sun appears to be setting behind the trees with a warm orange glow. The field in the foreground contains patches of yellow-brown grass and white wildflowers. The trees and field are cast in shadow with the warm light only visible through the trees. The painting style is realistic.
