Symphony in Silver and Grey

Titles

Only one title has been suggested:

  • 'symphony in "silver and grey" ' (1894, Walker). 1
  • 'Symphony in Silver and Grey' (1908, Christie's). 2
  • 'Symphony in Silver and Grey' (1980, YMSM). 3

Description

The title suggests a Thames riverscape but given the nature of Connal's collection (works by Albert Joseph Moore (1841-1893), the Pre-Raphaelites, etc.) a figure subject cannot be excluded.

Site

Possibly a Thames scene.

Notes:

1: R. Walker 1894 [more] , at p. 341.

2: Christie's, London, 14 March 1908 (lot 84).
