Afternoon es una de las primeras pinturas de George Inness, creada cuando el artista solo tenía veintiún años y estaba sentando las bases de su carrera. Aunque en gran parte autodidacta, Inness se sumergió en un periodo transformador a mediados de la década de 1840, estudiando en la Academia Nacional de Diseño de Nueva York, donde observó de cerca el trabajo de pintores de la Escuela del río Hudson, como Thomas Cole y Asher Durand. Este momento marcó sus primeras exposiciones públicas en la Academia en 1844, seguidas de la apertura de su propio estudio en 1848, lo que sitúa Afternoon en plena etapa formativa, en la que comenzó a emerger su voz artística.


 


La pintura también refleja la sutil influencia del paisajista francés Regis Francois Gignoux, con quien el joven Inness estudió antes de realizar su primer viaje a Europa en 1851. Esta formación temprana contribuyó a moldear la sensibilidad atmosférica y el naturalismo poético que más tarde definirían su estilo maduro.


 


Afternoon tiene una procedencia distinguida, ya que ha pasado por las colecciones de varios neoyorquinos importantes del siglo XIX y principios del XX, entre ellos el político Cornelius Gardiner, el financiero y filántropo Emerson McMillian y, más tarde, la filántropa Agnes Ladson Dana. Este linaje, combinado con la excepcional antigüedad de la pintura, la convierte en un ejemplo especialmente significativo de los inicios de la perdurable contribución de Inness a la pintura paisajística estadounidense.
