Old Lyme, Connecticut, A World Observed: The Art of Everett Longley Warner 1877-1963, 1992, pp. 12, 47, fig. 9, no. 53, illustrated, and elsewhere.
In January 1903, Everett Longley Warner embarked for Paris, France, financing his trip with the money he earned from selling his paintings and etchings. He was joined later that year by fellow artist's Harry Leslie Hoffman (1871-1964) and Arthur Prince Spear (1879-1959) and the three lived and worked in their studio at 27 quai des Grands overlooking the Seine until 1905. While in Europe, Warner traveled through northern Europe in the summer of 1903 and the spring of 1904, he traveled south to Italy where he toured and sketched the cities of Naples, Capri, Rome, Florence, Venice, and Siena. Late in 1905, Warner returned to the United States and by 1909 when the present work was painted, he was living in New York and spending time in Old Lyme, Connecticut to participate in the art colony there. Warner likely painted the present work from one of the many sketches that he executed during his time in abroad.
