The co-authors of the Hassam Catalogue Raisonné project believe the present lot was originally titled Dusk, Central Park West, 1894. That picture, unlocated for decades, is recorded as measuring 24 x 17-1/2 inches. The authors believe that Dusk, Central Park West was cut down in size many years ago, at both top and bottom, and re-signed by another hand, resulting in the present work, now titled Central Park West at 82nd Street.
