Large unsigned and unframed oil on canvas winter scene shows a group of Pilgrims walking right to left on snow covered ground with trees. A small building can be seen in left background. The minister and wife lead a small group of women and children towards the church, led and flanked by men with guns. A copy of the photograph of the back before relining showing a canvas stamp of “P. DECHAUX & CO NEW YORK” accompanies painting. Another version of this painting titled “Pilgrims Going to Church” is in the collection of the New York Historical Society and done in the 1860’s, when he concentrated his work on early American Colonial history.
