General Remarks

Whitney Archive, Abiquiú Notebooks indicate, "Exam. At Amer. Place, March 1946....No signature. Title given by O'Keeffe as nothing is on back." Whitney Archive, Abiquiú Notebooks indicate, "She thinks in 1928 exhibition but I do not find it listed in catalogues for that or other years. Note: Checked again with Miss O'Keeffe. This was painted in 1928 but not in 1928 exhibition." Whitney Archive, Abiquiú Notebooks, Downtown Gallery Archive date 1927. Dated 1928 on basis of O'Keeffe trip to Wisconsin summer 1928. Either this or cat. no. 618 mentioned in New York Times (January 1932) as being at Reinhardt Galleries. (Source: Lynes, 1999)
