The Depths of the Sea
View through Harvard Museums
Drawing is executed on wove paper mounted to paper and attached to panel. The primary support is slightly smaller than the panel. The watercolor extends beyond the edges of the primary support, so the paper was mounted prior to execution.

Lord Lawrence (the Honorable Charles Napier Lawrence created first Baron Lawrence of Kingsgate 1923);* Jacques Seligmann and Co. New York; acquired from them by Grenville L. Winthrop October 3 1935 ($3 500); his bequest to the Fogg Art Museum 1943.
*Footnote by Gail Weinberg: "I am grateful to Christopher Newall who identified the owner as Lord Lawrence of Kingsgate whose collection was sold at Christie's London on March 15 1935. "The Depths of the Sea" does not appear in this sale and therefore must have been sold or bequeathed separately."
