Notes: "Manhattan in Winter" was painted by Guy Carleton Wiggins, circa 1910. The painting is signed lower left. Note: In a letter from the artist's son Guy A. Wiggins, dated March 13, 2014, in which he confirms the authorship of the present work, he states; " ... I judge this to be done about 1905-1910 when he was in his early twenties. ... This is by far the earliest of his New York snow scenes for which he is famous that I personally have seen." This letter will accompany the lot.
