Provenance

Unknown.

Exhibitions

  • 1886: 'Notes' - 'Harmonies' - 'Nocturnes', Second Series, Messrs Dowdeswell, London, 1886 (cat. no. 36) as 'Pink and green – Little Folk in Fulham'.

Kay described it as 'a grey trouble, with sparkles of pink and red, which resolves itself into a Fulham Street scene with a fruit-vender and his stall'. 1 An oil of similar subject, Pink and Grey: Fruiterer, Fulham [YMSM 342] was in the same show, but has also not been identified.
