Catalogue Note
In a letter dated March 22, 2006 Guy A. Wiggins writes, "The painting depicts Grand Army Plaza with two black horse-drawn carriages in the foreground. . . . There is a grayish-brown building extreme right with lighted windows, snow covered trees behind the carriages and behind them the Bergdorf-Goodman building. . . ." A copy of Mr. Wiggins' letter accompanies the lot.
This painting is also inscribed calendar righs (sic) sold on the stretcher and was probably reproduced as a Christmas card.
