Description
Oil on canvas by Emma Swan (1853-1927). SLL. Framed: 14" x 16". Trained initially by her father, Swan was an accomplished artist. A founding member of the Providence Art Club, she was also faculty at the RI School of Design. She was a master at still-life painting. In an article in the Providence Journal, the art critic had this praise for Swan's works, “she undoubtedly ranks first among the women artists in Rhode Island and holds an enviable position among leading artists of the country.”(Providence Journal 1900). A long overdue recognition of women artists from this era is jolting the art world with more exhibitions and auction offerings dedicated to women artists.
