Little is known about this landscape study, probably for an architectural setting. The original owner of the panels ultimately became the Coca-Cola Company’s fourth chairman of the board; in the 1930s Wyeth did many images advertising the soft drink. Letters descended in the owner’s family suggest that the design was originally planned for a "back-bar" behind a soda fountain, however, no archival material proves the design was executed.
