Beschriftung
Innerhalb der Darstellung unten in der Mitte signiert: "C. D. Gibson"; unterhalb der Darstellung bezeichnet: "Sympathetic plain friend to inconsolable young widow: "THE LAST TIME I MET YOUR DEAR HUSBAND HE STOPPED AND SPOKE TO ME WITH SUCH A SUNNY GREETING THAT I WAS THE HAPPIER FOR IT ALL DAY LONG. / Young widow (still oblivious to everything except her loss): YES, THAT WAS JUST LIKE DEAR DAVID. THERE WAS NO WOMAN SO HUMBLE OR HOMELDY; OR UNATTRACITVE, OR DULL, BUT THAT HE COULD FIND SOMETHING PLEASANT TO SAY TO HER, AND WOULD TAKE PAINS TO SAY IT:"
