Curatorial RemarksDespite the difference between the printed catalogue numbers and the number written on the stretcher, this is most likely the work exhibited in November 1912 as "Autumn"; catalogue numbers and stretcher notations also vary for other paintings in the exhibition (see NCW 250, 935 and 936).
