General Notes

Curatorial Remarks

Note

NOT GENUINE Signature not that of Irving. In addition, Irving never dotted a capital "I" nor would he have used "W". Tacks in stretcher are new. Subjectively, Irving would probably not have submitted such a technically and aesthetically poor picture to the talented artist George Harvey.
