| Note: | 1. The Bonhams sale catalog suggests that the mountain in the painting may be Mount Lassen, in northern California. The profile of the mountain does not resemble any of the Schafer paintings with available images that the artist titled "Lassen Peak", nor other untitled Schafer paintings that are probably Mount Lassen. 2. The placement of the gallery sticker in a plastic sleeve to preserve it suggests that it was originally attached to the frame or stretcher bars. |
