Staging in California, 1889
Oil on canvas
60x108 inches

"Staging in California" is a large painting depicting a stagecoach speeding down a mountainside. The scene is bathed in a glorious golden light, and the sky is filled with roughly scattered clouds. The limited palette and dense background are in the Romantic tradition of French Barbizon painters such as Theodore Rousseau and François Millet.
