Provenance

Private collection, La Jolla, California

Note: Gustave Wolff depicts the High Bridge in the Bronx. It is the oldest bridge in New York City, completed in 1848 as part of the Croton Aqueduct water distribution system. The steel archway, just visible on the right edge of Wolff’s painting, was added in 1928 to allow more space for navigation along the Harlem River.
