| Site: | See note 2 below. The scene is probably a view of the McCloud River with Shasta Lake in the distance. |
| Note: | 1. The aspect ratio of the image would would suggest that the painting is actually 12 x 20 or 14 x 22 inches. 2. Lists of place names in California do not mention a "Cloud River" but the existence of paintings by Schafer such as On the McCloud River of the similarly-appearing area near McCloud, California, suggest that the verso inscription may be a mistranscription of a title written on the back of the canvas. |
| Identification: | Title from verso inscription, but the authority of that inscription is not known. |
| In index(es): | Title list, unidentified mountain scenes |
