Chelsea Houses

Chelsea Houses certainly dates from after 1883, and before 1896.

A date of 1884/1888 is indicated by the technique and subject matter, and by the woman's costume, with its bustle. 1 It is difficult to date, partly because of its condition.

Notes:

1: 'Probably painted 1880/7' in YMSM 1980 [more] (cat. no. 290).
