Diary Comments:
“Painted prior to 1930, an autumn still life made in the old studio that burnt in 1933.   Yellow and white chrysanthemums in a brown jug backed by a round black Italian plate all against the lower part of an old wall map of Shelburne Falls, grapes and pears and pomegranates grouped on the cabinet around the brown jug.   Rather academic and trite in approach but still nice color for the right wall."

Notes:
