"Vale of Kashmir" is a notable landscape painting by the African American artist Robert Scott Duncanson (1821–1872). Created in 1870, this work exemplifies Duncanson's mature style, which was heavily influenced by the Hudson River School and reflects a romantic approach to landscape painting. The painting depicts the lush and tranquil scenery of the Kashmir Valley, a region renowned for its natural beauty, located in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent.

Measuring 30 1/4 x 52 1/4 inches (76.8 x 132.7 cm), "Vale of Kashmir" is a testament to Duncanson's skill in capturing the grandeur and serenity of exotic landscapes, a subject that was popular among affluent art patrons of the time. Although Duncanson never visited Kashmir himself, his ability to render such a locale with convincing detail and atmospheric effect speaks to his imaginative power and the influence of contemporary travelogues and literature that brought distant lands into the purview of American artists and audiences.

As one of the few African American artists to gain international recognition in the mid-19th century, Duncanson's work is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its place in the history of American art. His landscapes offer a window into the ways in which artists of color navigated the cultural and social landscapes of the time, often transcending racial barriers through the universal appeal of their artistic vision.

"Vale of Kashmir" is held in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts, where it continues to be an important piece for study and public appreciation, contributing to the understanding of Duncanson's oeuvre and the broader narrative of American landscape painting in the 19th century.
