Exhibition label on the frame of the River Scene. Title "Soirée Rose?" We
do believe that this could be the first version of the River Scene
exhibited probably in 1887. Please note the marks from screws. It is
evident that this frame must have been used as an exhibition frame
afterwards.
La Barque Rose
The rose light reminds us of the first version of our River Scene.
