After immigrating to the United States, Tait became a large figure in the New York art world. A member of the National Academy, he was well known throughout the country when he became one of Currier and Ives’ most prominent artists. While perhaps his works of animals were most popular, his genre and western scenes became very well known, even today. This work was painted north of New York City in Putnam County, an area in which he returned to frequently. Shortly after he moved to New York, he established a painting camp in the Adirondacks. The last picture in this lot (not included in the sale) is of Tait in Putnam County.
