NOTE:
A plein-air painter, Picknell grew up in New England but traveled extensively, including a two year stay in Rome, studying under George Inness. Picknell primarily painted landscapes. Like his most famous works, The Road to Concarneau in the Corcoran Gallery and The Banks of the Loing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Mountain Landscape With Coach" features the same low horizon line and deep recession of space, accentuated by a dirt road.
