Brader is primarily known for his large scale, detailed views of farms and family residences done in graphite pencil. This drawing has survived in remarkable condition and is one of the finer examples known. Brader started numbering his drawings in Pennsylvania (the first 300) and continued in Ohio where the highest known number is 950. His works are in collections of the Chicago Institute, The Canton Museum of Art and The McKinley Museum of Canton, Ohio.
