Specialist note

We would like to thank Martha Hoppin for her assistance with cataloguing this lot.

Possibly referencing the present work, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle described J.G. Brown's Looking Out to Sea following an exhibition of the Brooklyn Art Association as "a country lad and little sister standing on the edge of a cliff in the breeze and apparently enjoying with childish glee the prospect before them." (May 17, 1880, p. 4)
