Catalogue Note
(As an article written about A.H. Bicknell and published in The Magazine Antiques, September, 1974, states:) "In 1860 Bicknell exhibited for the first time at the Boston Athanaeum. He showed a picture listed in the catalogue as 219 1/2. Ideal Head. about which nothing more is known. At about the same time he painted the earliest of his surviving landscapes, View Near Deerfield (5). This surely predates his European studies, for it is a purely American portrayal of this pastoral scene, an extension of the Hudson River school style into the Berkshire Hills."
