It is the artist's interpretation of maple syrup season with people busy at various tasks, set in a typical Moses winter setting. The figures are getting ready to pour sryup on snow for children, take empty buckets to hang on taps driven into maple trees, or carry full buckets with a yoke towards a bonfire to boil the sap down into syrup, known as sugaring off. The subject of this painting had been a recurring theme since 1939 and became a bestseller for the artist.[2]
This painting was acquired by Cole Porter who gifted it to Cy Feuer.[1]
