Frederic Ramsdell was the brother of donor Edith Scott’s grandmother. The work has a dreamy tonalist quality with touches of strong color that is characteristic of the artist. Ramsdell identified the location depicted as Old Lyme and dated the picture 1908. The artist came to Old Lyme in 1906, where he owned a home known as Deacon Hall on Grassy Hill Road until his death in 1915. He was a good friend of Florence Griswold, who owned one of his paintings at the time of her death. He was not a prolific painter and his family still owns some of his work.
