This is a beautiful estate found lithograph print by American artist Peter Hurd (1904-1984). Hurd was primarily a painter and his work is strongly associated with the people and landscapes of San Patricio, New Mexico, where he lived from the 1930s. He is equally acclaimed for his portraits and his western landscapes. Early in his life, Hurd studied in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania under the noted illustrator N.C. Wyeth, along with two of his grown children. Hurd later married the painter's eldest daughter, Henriette Wyeth, who also is known as an accomplished painter. During World War II, Hurd worked for Life magazine as a war correspondent attached to the US Air Force. Though rendered only in black and white, this print features obvious mastery of shadow and light. The bucolic lithograph depicts a Windmill and Well at Night with the crescent moon bathing the rolling hills in subdued light. Plate signature to the lower left. - The matting is 18 7/8 x 14 7/8". The print paper is 14 x 10 5/8". The print is 9 7/8 x 8 1/2".
