"Elm, East Hartford, Connecticut" is an oil painting by American artist Charles DeWolf Brownell (1822–1909). Created in 1857, the artwork is a quintessential example of Brownell's landscape paintings, which often focused on the natural beauty and rural scenery of New England. The painting depicts a majestic elm tree situated in East Hartford, Connecticut, capturing the grandeur and prominence of the American elm, a species that was once a common and revered sight in the northeastern United States.

Brownell, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, was a part of the Hudson River School, a mid-19th century American art movement embodied by a group of landscape painters influenced by romanticism. The artists of this school were known for their realistic and detailed portrayal of the American landscape, particularly the Hudson River Valley, the Catskills, the Adirondacks, and the White Mountains. Brownell's work, while not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, is valued for its contribution to this artistic tradition and its historical depiction of the American environment prior to industrialization.

"Elm, East Hartford, Connecticut" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural value. The American elm trees, such as the one depicted in Brownell's painting, were later devastated by the introduction of Dutch elm disease in the 20th century, leading to a dramatic decline in their population. Brownell's painting serves as a visual record of the elm's former glory and is a poignant reminder of the impact of disease on the American landscape.

The painting is held in the collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, Connecticut, which is the oldest continuously operating public art museum in the United States. "Elm, East Hartford, Connecticut" is an important piece within the museum's collection of American art, offering insight into the natural history of the region and the artistic movements of the 19th century.
