“The Snow Eddied and Whirled about the Men”

 

No info was written on this slide, but clearly from the style it's by W.H.D. Koerner, and a little digging reveals that it is “The Snow Eddied and Whirled about the Men” from 1932.

You can see the original at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West

Koerner’s life (1878 – 1938) spanned the great age of American illustration. Born in Lunden, Schleswog-Holstein, Germany, Koerner was an infant when his family chose the promise of American soil. He grew up in rural Iowa. Painting cows on milk wagons for $5 each in his hometown of Clinton provided his entry into the professional world of art.
