Specialist note

"Without a knowledge of the other two versions of this composition (cat. nos. A328-A329), this one would not be recognizable as a farmstead in which the tree foliage completely obscures the farm building visible in the two companion examples," wrote Robert P. Welsh. "It is here ascribed a relatively early date due to analogies in composition, matted coloration and brush technique with the oil version of The Royal Wax Candle Factory, Oil Sketch (cat. no. A190) from 1900-01. Because of its small size and mounting it qualifies as a sketch made at the site" (op. cit., p. 280).
