Notes:

Letter attached to the verso of the painting reads:

"This untitled landscape was painted by Marvin Cone in the summer of 1945 at the rural summer retreat of Coleen and Horace Hedges, located west of Cedar Rapids, just north of what was then known as the 'Old Palo Road.' He had visited the Hedges the evening before he started the painting and admired the gentle Iowa countryside surrounding it. When it was finished, he gave the painting to his life-long friend, Horace 'Cap' Hedges. The painting hung in the Hedges' home until 1963 when, upon their deaths, it was given to their son, Sam H. Hedges, who displayed it in his home in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. When Sam Hedges died in 1986, he bequeathed the painting to his grand-nephew and namesake Sam Hedges Richardson to be presented to young Sam on his 10th birthday, July 28, 1987…"
