RSW's Diary Comments
“Painted Feb. 1940. Painted from my studio north window. Snowstorm outside, white glass banjo bottle and silhouetted china colt on windowsill. One of the finest things I ever painted. Not exhibited much because kept a ‘trump card’ for N. Y. or Boston exhibitions. Bought from my Grand Central Art Galleries Exhibition at Hotel Gotham Branch, March, 1942, by Mrs. William H. Moore and given to Miss Eleanor Spencer, noted pianist (deaf) of Hotel San Jacinto, 18 East 60th St., New York City.”
