The artist.

Literature
O. Kallir, Grandma Moses, New York, 1973, p. 317, no. 1247, illustrated.

The copyright to this painting is reserved by Grandma Moses Properties Co., Inc., New York.

The figure at lower right is believed to be the artist herself. When Grandma Moses would insert herself in a landscape scene, these miniature self-portraits usually pictured the artist in a purple dress or a bold black hat. It is no surprise the artist would have picked this more personal landscape as it were to be a gift for her friend.
