This lot was authenticated by the Newington-Cropsey Foundation and will be included in any future supplements to the Catalogue Raisonné of the artist.

Lot note:

This work was likely part of a Four Seasons set, which was a very popular item offered by Cropsey. When the four paintings were to be placed a single frame, they would be about the 4 x 8 inches as the present painting. There are only two known sets of single frame examples that are still intact; most were disassembled and the individual paintings sold separately. Four Seasons sets normally included: “Summer in Italy,” “Spring in England,” “Autumn in America,” and “Winter in Switzerland.”
