The present work closely relates to a slightly larger view by Grant of the barn at Charleston formerly in the Reader’s Digest Collection (sold Christie’s, London, 19 November 2004, lot 21). That work was dated in that sale catalogue c.1944 and is nearly identical in every detail except for the inclusion of two figures and a dog that appear on the path beneath the barn in this painting and which are a notable omission in the Reader’s Digest Collection picture.
