| Attribution: | The composition, brushwork, palette, and similarity to other paintings of Carmel and Monterey Bays by Schafer (Carmelo Bay near Monterey, California, [Coast near Monterey], [Cypress Point, Monterey 2], and Midway Point, Monterey) all suggest that this work is by him. However, the signature consisting of just a monogram is unique. In addition, the monogram is constructed with a different set of strokes when compared with monograms used as part of Schafer's full signature appearing on other paintings. |
