Annie Barker (Barber ?) Folger (American 1852-1936) Tom Nevers Head Nantucket pastel on paper signed lower margin 10 x 18" 13 x 21" as framed. Annie Barker Folger was so modest about her paintings that she exhibited them reluctantly only when persuaded by her friends. She did occasionally show her work on island, however, and in 1915 three of her Nantucket landscapes were accepted for exhibition at the prestigious Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, where they hung with works by such famous contemporaries as Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, and Mary Cassatt.
