Charles Burchfield was known for his depiction of the Midwestern landscape, recording scenes like the one seen here. A native of northeast Ohio, the artist relocated to Buffalo, New York in 1921, and sketched the environs around him, such as the forest that fills this sheet. Burchfield often worked in pencil and watercolor, media that allowed him to draw quickly and on the spot.
