Oil on canvas, signed lower right "LL Weinrick,", in the original paint and gesso wooden frame. A virtually unknown American impressionist of the New Hope school, Leo Weinrick is documented by a single entry in volume fifteen of "The American Art Annual" in which his address is given as the village of Bound Bridge, New Jersey, across the Delaware River from New Hope In this entry, the name Weinrick is spelled with a final "h" rather than the letter "k" that the recent cleaning of the painting clearly shows. This is probably the result of a stenographic error in transcribing the artist's handwritten information. This painting shows the influence of Edward Willis Redfield who had become famous or his snowscapes during the first decade of the twentieth century, most notably "The Grey Veil" exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy in 1911. Given the quality of the small number of paintings by Weinrick that have surfaced thus far, it is to be hoped that further discoveries will be made.

Some surface chips to frame.
