Diary Comments:
"Painted about 1930.  The front facade and ell of a rare old house in Leyden village.  House the main subject, weather beaten old white paint, with faded battered old green blinds, very fascinating to me.  I have always considered this one of my finest expressions, perfectly painted, really ‘big’ picture, but it has never been very popular with the public. Farmer’s wife in black with black cat in front yard."

Comments  on the back of  a sepia print:
“One of my most loved canvases. House faded white, much weathered, soaking in the sun, faded green blinds. Delicate and lovely in color.” " Outstanding canvas."
