See also, F1910.22a, Curatorial Remark 2, Susan Hobbs, 1978, in the object record, which states: "The artist apparently designed the frame for this painting and had it made to order by the Royal Art Framing Company of New York City."

[3] The original deed of Charles Lang Freer's gift was signed in 1906. The collection was received in 1920 upon the completion of the Freer Gallery.
