Notes
  • Catalog of works: Goodrich/Gerdts No. 238
  • Offered for sale from the collection of A. Alfred Taubman at Sotheby's, New York, 4 November 2015 (lot 27, realized 2,650,000 USD Hammer Price with Buyer's Premium)
  • The Sotheby's catalogue note notes an affinity with Mary Cassatt’s The Boating Party as a fresh interpretation of a classic genre scene: "Using strong linear elements to formally define the space and unconventional flattening of the picture plane, both Homer and Cassatt offer a distinctly modern view of a sun-filled, leisurely day at the shore."
