Born in North Anson, Maine, in 1852, Benjamin Foster later studied under Abbott Thayer in New York before training in Paris. In the present work, "Foster's interpretation of the tender phases of evening light shows his power to feel the soul of nature. Moonlight and starlight sweep over the slope of the hill brushing the wall with a silver rime and setting a crown upon the trees of the dense forest on the crest of the hill. It was painted at Cornish, New Hampshire...This is one of Ben Foster's masterpieces" (Toledo Museum of Art News, no. 20, December 1912, n.p.).
