Art Description By Albert Bierstadt. Bierstadt made his first sketches of Yosemite in 1863, inspired by Carleton Watkins's early photographs. This painting came three years later, back in New York, from memory and field notes. The light in it is the kind that only exists for about twenty minutes in the late afternoon, and somehow he made it last.
