PHILADEPHIA – Freeman’s sale of American Art & Pennsylvania Impressionists on Sunday, June 14, offered 74 lots and was 100 percent sold.

The work had been sold at Christie’s twice earlier and been exhibited at the Art Club of Philadelphia, the Montclair Art Museum (New Jersey), Grand Central Art Galleries (New York City) and the Georgia Museum of Art (Athens, Ga.). The painting will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Edward Redfield’s work, being compiled by Dr Thomas C. Folk.
