Diary Comments:
“Painted 1949.   My little S.E. window, back of the easel, painted so many times.   In this one the view outside of the orchard with tree and landscape pure white with the very essence of winter, seems to dominate the canvas.   A ‘white’ light pours in the window and onto the shelf and the objects on it.   To the left foreground, running out of the bottom of the picture, against the woodwork, an ivy plant in brown pot, back of it the lavender bottle and a candlestick, on the shelf by it, a small green majolica butter dish.   To the right, my horse chestnut leaf majolica plate stands against the window, subtly silhouetted against the pure white snow, and standing against it and the dull red curtain, is the cockatoo majolica pitcher, a couple of small books lying flat to the right of its base.  Lovely in color with its violets and greens and dark browns; full of white winter light.   Sold in March, 1951, through Grand Central Art Galleries to Mr. Arthur H. Axberg, 3643 212th St. Bayside, Long Island, N. Y.”
