Notes
Painted at rock of Port Issol, February 23 (journal), west of Sanary-sur-Mer. ED note: "It was painted where there was barely room - a little bit as though it was the side of a small cliff. There was room enough for the easel and my feet, but no more and it is a pretty good sized oil on canvas. Since the amount of room was very small, one's movements were restricted very much and I suppose I looked at nature by turning my head sideways. It was right over deep water in the Mediterranean - water boiling around amongst some rocks."Provenance
