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 painting most closely resembles Unnamed #3, however, of all the paintings we have of RSW painting the valley below his Southwick place looking south towards Ashfield, this is the only one that includes his neighbor's home. Therefore I believe he may have painted this from his patio just outside the southside of the house.
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.
