The old handwritten inscription on the stretcher seems to refer to the American painter Edward Gay (1837–1928), a landscape painter associated with the Hudson River School. In the early 1860s, Edward Gay travelled to Germany, where he studied under the Romantic painters Johann Wilhelm Schirmer and Karl Friedrich Lessing, whose compositions bear similarities to this work.
