"Gathering Kelp by William Mason Brown" is a 19th-century American painting by the artist William Mason Brown (1828–1898), known for his detailed and luminous still life and landscape paintings. Brown, a member of the second generation of the Hudson River School, often depicted the pastoral and serene countryside of the northeastern United States. "Gathering Kelp" is a work that exemplifies Brown's attention to the interplay of light and texture, as well as his ability to capture the everyday activities of rural life with a sense of dignity and beauty.

The painting portrays figures on the shore engaged in the laborious task of collecting kelp, a type of seaweed, which was commonly used in the 19th century as fertilizer and for the production of iodine and soda ash. The composition likely reflects the coastal scenery of New England, where Brown spent much of his life. In "Gathering Kelp," Brown's skill in rendering the natural world is evident, from the detailed depiction of the kelp to the nuanced treatment of the sky and water. The painting also reflects the broader American artistic movement of the time, which celebrated the nation's landscapes and the virtue of its people working in harmony with the land.

While the exact date of creation for "Gathering Kelp" is not specified, it falls within Brown's mature period when he had fully developed his style and was enjoying considerable success as an artist. The painting is significant for its artistic merit and for its representation of 19th-century American life and labor. It contributes to the understanding of the cultural and economic history of the period, as well as the development of American landscape painting. As a work by William Mason Brown, "Gathering Kelp" holds a place in the collection of American art from the Hudson River School era, offering insight into the period's aesthetic values and the daily experiences of its people.
