Louis Bromfield (1896-1956) began painting while living in France. He was considered a good amateur artist, and many European homes still display his paintings. This painting was created for George Hawkins, city born and bred, to appease him for having moved to such a rural place like Malabar Farm in rural southern Richland County, Ohio.
