There is no indication where this title came from but this small oil may be one titled Gold and Silver and related to a work, # 628, Aspens - Hondo Canyon, that were both exhibited at the Kreimer & Bros., Co. galleries in Cincinnati in 1935. Stylistically, it also relates to another aspen landscape in the same sale, Morning in Aspen Forest (related image, #24) and Green and Gold of 1930, #603.
