Birger Sandzen painted this same scene multiple times but this example painted in 1952 is one of the largest. The Smoky Hill River ran from Colorado through the Great Plains and central Kansas near the artist’s home of Lindsborg and he took inspiration from the seasonal changes it exhibited. "Autumn Chord, Smoky Hill River, Kansas" is recorded in the Sandzen card file as #2725 at the Birger Sandzen Memorial Gallery in Lindsborg, Kansas.
