• 1888: III. Internationale Kunst-Ausstellung, Königlicher Glaspalast, Munich, 1888 (cat. no. 62) as 'Blau und Silber: Sudkuste'.

It was insured for £30, and listed by Whistler as 'Bleu et argent - South Coast' to be sent on to Wunderlich's in America. 1 Although Whistler's list suggests it was to be sent for exhibition in New York in 1889, it is not identifiable with any of the titles in that exhibition.

Whistler gave the size of this painting as 42 x 36 cm framed, which suggest a picture size of about 12.7 x 21.3 mm, comparing it with Grey and Silver: Mist - Life Boat [YMSM 287], White and Grey: La Cour de l'hôtel, Dieppe [YMSM 325] and Grey and Brown: The Sad Sea Shore [YMSM 330], which were in the same exhibition.
