Notes:
The earlier signature, which is partially covered over (when the painting was reworked), reads as: “ll Kent.”
The date of 1918-1966 originates in the lists exchanged between Kent and Richard Larcada, in 1966: identifying works that will be included in Larcada’s 1966 exhibition of Kent’s work.
This painting has been mis-titled (as the similar work) Northern Night, in Christie’s 5/24/95 catalogue.
