- The site identifies the back label as Wadsworth, Howland & Co. Academy Boards, Boston, while noting the painting’s age and attribution are unverified.
Field notes
The page separates visible clues from unresolved claims: it describes a possible “Thurston” signature and a 1907 inscription, while explicitly saying neither attribution nor date is authenticated. It also identifies a Boston maker’s label and provides close-up images, giving readers specific details to compare if they have relevant knowledge.
