Doris McCarthy dated this work as 1932 and indicated to the owner of the painting that the composition was painted following a half mile portage near Harburn and that the scene is a “rocky bit, south of Pa Curry’s hunting shack”, during summer. McCarthy also noted that the artwork was painted on a sketching trip with her friend and fellow artist, Ethel Curry.
