NOTE:
The present piece will be accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Dr. Thomas Folk and will be included in his forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of the artist's work. According to Dr. Folk, the present piece was executed while the artist was in France, around 1898. The scene most likely depicts the harbor of Boulogne, on the northern coast of France opposite the coast of England. Redfield would return to this location in 1908 to paint a series of other harbor scenes.
