This is a lovely, elegant, and important study and catalogue of works by an important American painter that was prepared for an exhibition of his paintings and the time of his life relating to eastern Long Island. In particular, one of his paintings included a composition showing his wife, two young daughters in a large room of their house at Shinnecock. In this room and in the background of the painting was a large Dutch cupboard, seventeenth century in style; its paired doors had been fitted with mirrors. In turn, the mirrors showed a reflection of their life Shinnecock. It is a breathtaking image.
