Label TextIn May 1940, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr. commissioned artist Mitchell Jamieson to do a series of watercolor paintings of the Morgenthau property in East Fishkill, New York. Secretary and Mrs. Morgenthau were so pleased by the paintings that they arranged a similar commission of paintings of Hyde Park, New York to gift to Franklin D. Roosevelt. This painting is one of 27 that Jamieson completed in June 1940 while staying at a cottage on the Roosevelts' Val-Kill property. The paintings depict local scenes, the surrounding countryside, and the areas around Springwood, Top Cottage, and Val-Kill.The painting is matted, glazed, and framed in a non-original 1" white-painted wood frame.
