Evening, New Bedford Harbor
The harbor at New Bedford, Massachusetts, was an important nineteenth-century maritime center that Tryon had depicted in at least two earlier views (Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, 1885 and unlocated picture, 1889). He also drew the harbor a number of times (Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, Massachusetts). In style, this recalls Whistler's nocturnes of the 1870s, works with which Tryon would have been familiar in the 1880s.
