The work is pencil titled “The Swimming Pool” at lower left and signed Wallace Nutting at lower right.

This is a classic example of Nutting’s early 20th-century American pictorial photography, prized for its nostalgic landscape subject matter and delicate hand-coloring. The Detroit Institute of Arts identifies its example of “The Swimming Pool” as a 1920 gelatin silver print with hand-coloring, with the image signed and titled in pencil on the mount.
