專家說明
"During the summers from 1877 to 1883, Alfred Bricher sketched along the coast south of Boston near Scituate, Massachusetts, with the intention that these sketches would be used for full-scale paintings executed back in his New York studio during the following winters. Seascape, Scituate is probably one of the first major works to result from the artist's trips to the region.
Bricher had become interested in using watercolor in the early 1870s. An exhibition of his works in this medium in 1873 prompted an invitation to membership in the American Society of Painters in Water Colors, an organization in which Bricher quickly became quite active. He showed his works in the Society's exhibitions for some years and served on its Board of Control and Hanging Committee." (The May Family Collection of American Paintings, Huntsville, Alabama, 1988, p. 18)
