Having spent much of his early life studying in Paris, Florence, and Rome, Haushalter’s work reflects a deep mastery of light and atmosphere found in the classic European landscape tradition.
Circa 1900, this original period work was created during the artist's extensive travels through Italy, an era when his study of the Old Masters informed his own soft, romantic style.
Pastel on paper, housed in a refined frame that complements the work's airy palette and gentle subject matter. Rooted in the Impressionist tradition, this piece embodies the late 19th and early 20th century fascination with the fleeting beauty of the Mediterranean landscape as captured by the American expatriate eye.
