| Attribution: | The Bonhams & Butterfields cataloguer was apparently doubtful about the attribution. The catalog entry reads "Attributed to Frederick Ferdinand Schafer" and "bears signature 'Fredck. Schafer'" However, the painting appears typical of Schafer's watercolors, and the signature also appears to be typical, apart from the unusual abbrevation of the forename. |
| Identification: | Title from the 2005 and 2006 auction sales. In the inventory of Christopher Queen Galleries "Sierra" is singular. |
| In index(es): | Title list, fishing scenes, watercolor and gouache paintings |
