Twachtman loved winter for its potential to encourage reflection and regeneration, and he was a strong proponant of the belief that art can ease the hectic lives of urban dwellers. From the serenity of his Connecticut estate, he frequently painted the frozen bodies of water nearby, including Horseneck Brook and Hemlock Pool, one of which is likely depicted here.

John Henry Twachtman (1853 – 1902) was best known for his impressionist landscapes, though his painting style varied widely through his career. Art historians consider Twachtman's style of American Impressionism to be among the more personal and experimental of his generation. He was a member of "The Ten," a loosely-allied group of American artists dissatisfied with professional art organizations, who banded together in 1898 to exhibit their works as a stylistically unified group.
