Sutton Island lies between the other "Cranberry Isles" and Mount Desert Island to the north. 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" sight, in period gold painted frame, overall size 12 1/4" x 16 1/4".

Between 1912 and 1930, Warren taught watercolor at Harvard's School of Architecture where Harold's brother Herbert was dean. Warren traveled widely and painted scenes from all over the world. His work hung at the Boston MFA and Cleveland Museum during his lifetime, and has become even more sought after in the decades since, particularly his scenes of coastal Maine.
