While the scene could have been painted at either of Weir's Connecticut farms, the high rolling meadow is similar to other views in Branchville. The artist has embraced the Impressionists' bright colors and broad application of paint, suggesting that the work was painted in the early years of the 20th century. Gift of Mildred Thaler Cohen.
