Artwork Mentioned
Evening on the Hills
Noteworthy:
This painting holds the distinction of the first known artwork, outside of the National Acedemy of Design and Boston Art Club, to hang
in a museum. Its current whereabouts are unknown. There is no record of it ever appearing anywhere else after the Albright. We wonder if it was purchased bythe museum or from it.
Both articles below give us a location (Goodnow place above the Bliss farm) but no description of the content.
