A leader in the establishment of the Old Lyme, Connecticut art colony in 1899, Henry Ward Ranger is regarded as a key figure in the American Tonalist movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Ranger bequeathed his entire collection and estate to the National Academy of Design in New York to establish the Ranger Fund whose income was used to purchase the works of living American artists, to be donated to museums across the country. The present work is number 408 in the National Academy Ranger Fund.
