Original Description
Elmer Livingston MacRae’s "Schooner In The Ice, View From The Bush-Holley House, Cos Cob, Connecticut" captures a serene yet evocative winter scene, blending realism with the atmospheric qualities of American Impressionism. Painted in the early 20th century, this work reflects MacRae’s association with the Cos Cob Art Colony, a hub for artists exploring light, color, and everyday subject matter in a looser, more emotive style. The composition—a schooner trapped in icy waters as viewed from the historic Bush-Holley House—conveys quiet isolation and natural beauty, with delicate brushwork rendering the play of light on snow and frozen river. MacRae’s role in the colony and his integration of Impressionist techniques with distinctly American landscapes mark this painting as a subtle yet significant piece in the transition from 19th-century realism to modernist experimentation.
For interior styling, this work’s muted winter palette—soft blues, grays, and creamy whites—lends itself to spaces aiming for calm sophistication. In a study or office, it pairs beautifully with traditional wood furniture and neutral upholstery, reinforcing a timeless aesthetic. A medium-to-large frame (24x36 inches or similar) ensures visibility without overwhelming, ideally hung where natural light echoes its luminous quality. For contrast, layer in textured textiles like wool throws or linen drapes in complementary tones. Alternatively, in a minimalist setting, its quiet drama can anchor the room alongside sleek, modern furnishings, where the painting’s organic forms soften rigid lines. The maritime theme also suits coastal-inspired interiors, subtly nodding to New England’s artistic heritage.
