*Title: In a list of prints hand-written by the artist and dated June 14, 1958, Fiene specifies a print to which he gives the title "Cattle and Crows." This is also the title of a painting (oil on canvas, 56 x 60 in.), which is virtually the same image as "Mid-Winter." Nevertheless this catalgoue accepts "Mid-Winter," the title used by the publisher of the lithograph, Associated American Artists.
Setting: Although the subject matter and time of composition of this print seems more connected to western images such as Dust Storm and Cattle Round-up, the background with its stone walls, gentle hill and church steeple has its origins in New England, a background very similar to that found in Connecticut Winter, 1934.
Related Works: A Painting, "Cattle and Crows" (oil on canvas, 56 x 60 in.) is virtually the same image as the lithogaph. A tempera (See below.) may have been a study for the painting and/or lithograph.
