Col. (for Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico, which indicates it was likely painted during one of Zalce's travels or residences in that region). Double matted with silk on board under glass and carved wood frame, overall 21-5/8" x 21-1/8". Provenance: old private collection, Pittsburgh, PA, since first half 20th c., by descent in the family to the current owner.
