Additional Notes


The Crystal Bird
The Crystal Bird

The studio items appearing in the painting are: A 1816 edition of Edwin Dwight's book, "Memoirs of Henry Obookiah" (Opukaha'ia); a tall old lavender-colored bottle; a wine or sherry bottle; a hexagonal incense dish; a dark blue bottle; a crystal bird, a pink or green-colored shot glass, two apples, and a pewter water pitcher w/ clippings.

 Most every item in this painting are common to Woodward's Window Picture paintings except for the incense tray, and pewter water pitcher. The wine/sherry bottle appears in one other painting, painted the same year, Geraniums and Glass. We wonder if there is a significance.
