Curatorial RemarksThe sheet is constructed of two pieces, with a piece approximately 3 inches high added to the top of the picture. It seems likely that the additional area of sky and the tops of the smoke stacks were not part of the original design. NCW 1265 is the completed oil on panel painting.
