As unfinished, Woodward would not have written or commented in his artwork diary. All the works of art were framed for their preservation in 2017.
This drawing may have been part of the New England church series Woodward was commissioned by businessman and philanthropist Francis P. Garvan putting it around the mid-to-late 1930's.
The church still exists today and is located in the Deerfield Historic District on Main Street.
This incomplete artwork was found in a forgotten shipping crate stored in an attic, as seen below, along with twenty other pieces. The crate is in excellent condition and is a wonderful example of how RSW shipped his paintings about the country to exhibit in various shows.
