Born in Scotland, the self-taught painter John Kane moved to the United States as a young man and worked for years as a manual laborer in the steel mills, coal mines, and railroads of Ohio and Pennsylvania. After a train accident left him with a permanent disability, Kane found work as a painter of houses and train cars. Around this time, Kane also began to produce paintings of familiar landscapes and sometimes even painted over photographs. Here Kane depicts an idyllic scene of boats floating along the Susquehanna River as it winds its way through Pennsylvania's Dauphin County.
