“Farmers “folk song” of the 20’s, not a “true” folk song but one of the “syntheses” of the tune based on an old folk tune. Drawing made in winter of 1926-27 – lithograph made in early 40’s painting of this subject was purchased by Sears Roebuck Co and a print of it was circulated by the firm during the 40’s and early 50’s. Don’t know where the painting is now.“
