Bareford Mountains, West Milford, New Jersey

"Bareford Mountains, West Milford, New Jersey" is a painting by Jasper Francis Cropsey, created between 1850 and 1860. 



The artwork, measuring 1.018 meters in width and 0.586 meters in height, depicts a pastoral scene in West Milford, New Jersey. The foreground shows a harvested field of golden wheat, with figures of people working, possibly gathering the harvest. A wooden fence runs across part of the field. There are a few buildings, including a reddish-brown barn, visible in the mid-ground. A large, dark green tree stands prominently in the mid-ground to the right. The background is dominated by a range of dark green mountains under a pale sky with some clouds. The overall style suggests a Hudson River School landscape painting, characterized by its detailed rendering of nature and a sense of tranquility. The painting is part of the Brooklyn Museum's collection.
