Notes
According to Noel Parsloe, husband of McCahon's sister Beatrice, this work was originally discarded by McCahon. Following Noel's interest in the painting, the artist posted it to the couple as a gift.
During this period, McCahon was experimenting with a number of commercial oil and water-based paints. In some cases, he mixed these with artists' oil colours. The exact nature of the medium can be difficult to determine.
