A Red Note

Provenance

Unknown.

Exhibitions

  • 1889: “Notes” – “Harmonies” – “Nocturnes”, H. Wunderlich & Co., New York, 1889 (cat. no. 48) as 'A Red Note'.

An unflattering review in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle on 3 March 1889 does not help to identify it: 'Two nudes in pastel are incorrect in pose and drawing; incorrect enough to be bad.'
