| Note: | (1) Although Schafer was familiar with tropical scenery from his presumed travel from New York to San Francisco by way of Panama, there is no evidence that he ever visited Brazil or the Amazon River. This painting may be a composite based on a California river plus his sketches of Central American locales. 2. Evening on the Amazon River, South America seems to be an evening version, perhaps intended as a pendant. |
