The present lot will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Frederick C. Frieseke's work being complied by Nicholas Kilmer, the artist's grandson, and sponsored by Hollis Taggart Galleries, New York. We wish to thank him for his assistance cataloguing this lot.

This work was recorded in a list of available paintings completed by the artist and sent to Macbeth Gallery on October 24, 1917. A letter to Frieseke from Robert Macbeth followed on January 7, 1919, delivering news of the work's sale, "Mr. Pepper [of the Boston Art Club], whom I think you know, purchased the little silvery picture which we named After the Bath from our Intimate Paintings exhibition." According to scholar Nicholas Kilmer, a larger version of this subject may exist, though it is known only from an old photograph left in the artist's estate.
