About the Artwork

Lane's early paintings are filled with anecdotal detail and derive from his successful topographical lithographs. In this work, he carefully described rocks, trees, scrub, and coastline and accurately depicted their placement in the landscape. Many of the sites Lane painted in Gloucester allude to Cape Ann's history: Fresh Water Cove was named for the spring found there by Samuel de Champlain in 1606.
