Rockwell Kent (1882-1971)

Hans Hinrichs, who purchased the present work from Rockwell Kent in 1944, was a major patron of the artist. He not only purchased several paintings over the years, but also arranged an important commission for Kent to illustrate a booklet celebrating the centennial of the Rahr Brewing Company of Minnesota.
