From 1912-1915, Grabach lived in Greenfield, Massachusetts, near the Connecticut River. While there, he painted an important series of winter landscapes about which Virginia Mecklenburg writes: "His vision was that of an American impressionist, not unlike John Twachtman's whose snow scenes were then popular at National Academy exhibitions." One of the paintings from this period, Banks of the Connecticut River, accelerated Grabach's stature as an artist since it was selected for the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition. Grabach most likely painted the present canvas in 1914.
