After the death of his mother in 1938, Ivan, his twin Malvin, and their father, Adam Emory Ablright, escaped to Maine, turning to their art to deal with the grief. Ivan continued to visit Maine thereafter throughout his life. In 1940, he visited Corea, Maine, where he worked mainly in gouache. The mood in the present work is one of mediation and calm reflectiveness.
