| Medium: | Oil on canvas, laid to canvas. |
| Size: | 20 x 36 in (51 x 92 cm) |
| Inscription: | Signed l/l "F. Schafer" in the artist's characteristic block-letter hand. Left edge of initial "F" is not visible in the available image. |
| Verso: | Titled in a photograph in a plastic sleeve accompanying the painting, presumably of the verso inscription before lining, "Ev. on Santa Cruz Riv. Cal.", in the artist's characteristic block-letter hand. In a second plastic sleeve, a sticker of Stremmel Galleries, Reno, Nevada. |
| Provenance: | "Private Collection, Reno, Nevada" (from the Bonhams catalog); sold 4 August 2015, together with [Mountain landscape 11], as lot 6 for $8125 by Bonhams, Los Angeles. |
| Reproductions: | Bonhams sale 22419 catalog |
| Site: | Unidentified. As far as is known, there has never been a Santa Cruz River anywhere in California. Perhaps the artist has mixed together the names of San Lorenzo Creek and the Santa Cruz Mountains. |
| Note: | 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. |
| Identification: | Title from the presumed verso inscription by the artist. |
| In index(es): | Title list, Santa Cruz mountains, California |
