Note: | 1. The signature exhibits a curl under the initial letter "F", as if the artist originally intended to sign with the letters "F" and "S" conjoined in a monogram, then changed his mind. 2. The title uniquely combines elements found in the artist's titles of several other paintings of the same scene. |
