William Hart (1823-1894), British-American The earliest of three paintings by William Hart in the Athenaeum's collection, An Autumn Day appears to portray Whiteface Mountain in New York's Adirondack Mountains. The peaceful scene depicts the pristine American landscape with deer wading quietly in the foreground river.
