The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Brooklyn, NY, “Art Calendar: Timely Note and Comment“, April 19, 1910, page 26.
“For grays that are delicate and suggestive of a lilac tinge nothing in the collection exceeds in beauty for tone as Gray Afternoon, sand and sky nearly all of it, and with a tiny strip of blue ocean in mid-picture, and on it a sail or two.”
