About this artwork

One of Ox-Bow’s cofounders, Krehbiel served as an instructor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for many seasons before opening his own summer institution, the AK Studio, in 1934. His outdoor landscape classes and weekly lectures were popular with students and the public alike. As demonstrated by this work, Krehbiel was a gifted colorist, and he worked in both oils and pastels to capture the luxuriant landscape of Saugatuck.
