General Notes

Note

Notes: Note from consigner of panel to Doyle: "I have no recollection of acquiring the work. It's been in my house for years and had finally figured out who the artist was and noticed you had sold a similar Chanler. My passion is purchasing art work of any kind, so have acquired many of the years, so don't have any additional information. But was certainly purchased in New England."
