It has never been confirmed that de Grailly visited America. What is known is that he worked mainly by adapting engravings of American landscapes into paintings; these paintings were sought after and exhibited at the Paris Salon. In this variant of the painting a single bird appears in the upper left and the sun light illuminates the Hudson Highlands.

Provenance: Gertrude Grace Sill (1920–2020) was an American art historian, curator, professor, and author of "John Haberle Master of Illusion," among other art historical publications.
