Accompanying this work is a research report completed by Nancy Weekly, of the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo, New York. We wish to thank her for her assistance cataloguing this lot.
According to Nancy Weekly, the present work bears resemblance in subject, palette, and size to other works executed by the artist produced while studying at the Cleveland School of Art (now the Cleveland Institute of Art) from 1912-16 and the work has therefore been dated to that period. It is documented in correspondence by the artist that Burchfield lived in a rooming house located at 1913 East 105th Street in Cleveland, Ohio. Weekly concludes, "it is possible that this painting represents a view from the rooming house and the building in the far distance may be one of the mansions on Euclid Avenue, known as Millionaire's Row."
