"Seven Miles to Farmington" is a painting by George Henry Durrie (1820–1863), an American painter known for his rural winter scenes. Durrie's work gained popularity, especially through the lithographic reproductions by Currier and Ives, which made his images widely distributed and iconic representations of the American countryside during the mid-19th century.

Completed in 1853, "Seven Miles to Farmington" is a quintessential example of Durrie's genre, depicting a winter landscape that is both idyllic and meticulously detailed. The painting portrays a traveler, often interpreted as a postman, with a horse-drawn sleigh making his way toward the town of Farmington, Connecticut. The title of the painting indicates the distance the traveler has yet to cover, suggesting a narrative of journey and purpose within the serene winter setting.

Durrie's composition in "Seven Miles to Farmington" is notable for its balanced arrangement of natural and human-made elements, creating a harmonious interaction between the environment and its inhabitants. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textures of snow, wood, and foliage, contribute to the painting's sense of realism and its evocative atmosphere.

As with many of Durrie's works, "Seven Miles to Farmington" reflects the American pastoral ideal and the 19th-century romanticization of rural life. It captures a moment in time that is both specific to the New England landscape and universal in its appeal to nostalgia and the human connection to nature.

The painting is part of the collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art in New Britain, Connecticut, where it continues to be studied and appreciated as an important piece of American art history and a testament to Durrie's skill and influence as a painter of the American scene.
