Alan Deacon, recognized authority on the works of Maud Lewis, notes that the Covered Bridge in Winter serial images were painted primarily in the 1960s and suggests that this painting dates to early in this time frame:

“This work is fairly early I would suggest 1963 and is signed “Lewis”. Early versions show blue shadowing on the large conifers. On rare occasions Maud uses pink shadowing. [This] painting has pink shadowing making it very rare indeed.”
