Autumn Scene in the Adirondacks
William Hart (American, born Scotland, 1823–1894), 1877.

Using it on a cover
The print file prints up to 9.4 x 11.3 in at 300 ppi — enough for a full 6 x 9 in front cover. Wider than a 6 x 9 cover: crop about 21% of the width, or use it as a wraparound across back and spine.
About the work
William Hart painted several compositions similar to Autumn Scene in the Adirondacks, in which trees arch over a stream, framing a distant view of sky. This example is unusual because of its inclusion of deer--visible in the shadows at lower left--which rarely appear in the artist's works.
