Catalogue Note
According to Rowland Elzea, "Sloan remarked in his diary, 'Made one rather large one of the sea, gray day, which seems right interesting for a first attempt at such a subject' (5 September 1911). According to a letter dated 1963 from Helen Farr Sloan to Antoinette Kraushaar, the figure by the boat is the painter Stuart Davis, as a young boy.
