Oil on canvas, 1885, signed 'AT Bricher' and dated lower left, lined, with labels from Kennedy Galleries, NY and Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester. 13 1/2 x 18 1/2 in., 17 1/2 x 22 1/2 in. (frame). Note: Several Bricher experts have reviewed this painting and feel that a definitive attribution to the artist would be difficult. They cite issues of paint application, proportion and the lack of oil sketches in the artist's body of work. They all pointed out, however, that anomalies exist in every artist's oeuvre and Bricher strayed into areas of stylistic exploration several times over the course of his career.,
