Charles Krutch (Tennessee, 1849-1934) East Tennessee watercolor on paper painting depicting a verdant mountain landscape with a sparsely leaved evergreen tree and rocky terrain visible in the foreground under a hazy sky.

Framed: 12 1/2" H x 9" W. Biography (Courtesy Knoxville Museum of Art): Krutch is regarded as one of East Tennessee's first painters to specialize in scenes of the Smoky Mountains.
