Commentary: This painting is significant because it reflects Schoonover’s change to a lighter palette. The brush strokes and diffused light source show the beginnings of a change from romantic realism towards his later impressionistic style.
Provenance: Sold by the artist to Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard; Schoonover Studios, Ltd., Wilmington, Delaware
