Descriptif du lot

The present work was painted during a period of transition for Emil Carlsen, around the time when he moved from the East Coast to California. At his new studio in Sausalito, he would focus on a lighter colored background than his earlier, Boston School-style works, and the present painting is an early example of this type.
