Curator's Comments: Reckard is the  preferred spelling for the variant Reckhard, which is used in some databases. The artist's signature, an accompanying plaque, and inscriptions on the stretcher all use the spelling Reckard. The inscriptions read: "Purchased from the artist Gardner Arnold Reckard / 1906 / Poughkeepsie, NY / Wm Arnold Bradley / Pougkeepsie NY." Bradley then reinscribed the stretcher: "Presented to / Miss [Undecipherable] 1933 / Wm Arnold Bradley." Reckard, himself, dated the painting on the tacking edge: "Oct 1903 -- 1904 Feb." Reckhard was a New York State tonalist, who exhibited at the National Academy, and we think of our work as a truly tonalist masterpiece, if only for the perfect yellow streaking in the late autumn sky. This is a painting that expresses a relationship between marsh and sky with complete harmony, and we have looked at it for hours. Of the Reckards we have seen, including those held privately, this is certainly the very best and the largest, and we think Autumn Marsh is easily the very best of the known works. The painting has been professionally cleaned, and rebacked.
