George Inness American, 1825-1894 Sunset, 1861 Signature Geo Inness and dated 61 (lr) Oil on canvas 9 7/8 x 13 3/4 inches Provenance: Newhouse Galleries, New York In a letter of authentication dated October 22, 2012, that accompanies this lot, Michael Quick writes: "Having had the opportunity to study carefully Sunset, it is my definite opinion that it is an authentic work of George Inness. Both the distinctive technique and the motif indicate that this is a painting of his first Medfield period, circa 1860-1863. I would date it toward the beginning of that period. It apparently depicts the marshy area along the Charles River near Medfield, a frequent subject." We thank Dr. Quick for his kind assistance in authenticating this work. C Estate of Walfredo Toscanini
