The present work was painted in Woodstock, New York, in October 1920. George Bellows first visited Woodstock in the spring of 1920 at the invitation of fellow artist, Eugene Speicher, and he quickly became enamored with this bucolic village nestled in the Catskill Mountains. Beginning in 1906, the Art Students League held summer teaching sessions there, and with the formation of the Woodstock Artists Association in 1919, resident artists had a local place where they could exhibit their work. As seen in the present work, Bellows' work during his time at Woodstock is informed by the panoramic view of the mountains surrounding the region.
