| Site: | View from the south of Mount Tamalpais, in Marin County, California, probably from Frank's Valley rather than Ross Valley. |
| Note: | The reported verso inscription is puzzling. Ross Valley is north of Mount Tamalpais, but the painting is of the mirror-image, southern profile of the mountain. Mount Tamalpais from Ross Valley, California [1], Mount Tamalpais from Ross Valley, California [2], Mount Tamalpais from Ross Valley, California [3] and Mount Tamalpais from Ross Valley, California [5] share this same mistitling; Evening on Mount Tamalpais from Ross Valley, California [1] and Evening on Mount Tamalpais from Ross Valley, California [2] share the title but are views from the North, as one would expect. |
| Identification: | Title based on verso inscription. |
| In index(es): | Title list, Mount Tamalpais |
