His pencil drawings of farms and houses were done while he was in Pennsylvania as early as 1876, and he completed some 300 pieces.
His Ohio drawings first appeared in1879, and Brader continued to draw until about 1895. The vast majority of his Ohio drawings were done in Stark and Portage Counties. Brader completed some 980 works indicated by his numbering system.
There have been two exhibitions of Brader's works. In October 1986, an exhibition was held in Reading, Pennsylvania at the Historical Society of Berks County, Inc. This showing was entitled, "Brader in Berks, 1880-1883". This exhibition showed 16 of Brader's pictures both from Pennsylvania and Ohio. A catalog was produced with the same title. In 1991 the Massillon Museum, in Massillon, Ohio organized an Exhibition of Ohio Drawings. This exhibition was entitled "F.A. Brader, The Ohio Drawings". It ran from January 20, 1991 through March 3, 1991 but no catalog was produced.

This drawing is a special example, being of small usable size, and in perfect unstained condition, which is very uncommon for his works. Additionally, the scene depicts desirable farm animals, a windmill, a horse and buggy, and two ladies walking, as well as many buildings.
