Two different versions.

[edit]
1868 Thyssen-Bornemisza
1878 Munson-Williams-Proctor

This painting was replaced with a different version. Where there was a dog there is now a person standing there. Which one is the correct version for this file? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonic12228 (talk • contribs) 21:58, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT! The painting with two figures at the wall is Gifford's August 6, 1868 oil sketch, and is (or was) in the Thyssen Bornemisza collection. Source: Barbara Novack, The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection: Nineteenth-Century American Painting (New York: The Vendome Press, 1986), pp. 146-147, ill. p. 147.
The painting with three figures at the wall is Galleries of the Stelvio, Lake Como (1878), Munson-Williams-Proctor Art Institute, Utica, New York.[1]
Thanks for spotting the (well intentioned) mixup. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 20:46, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
