About the Item

During her lifetime, Davis was best known for her exquisitely-painted floral still lifes, which she exhibited to much acclaim in New York from the mid-1870s to the mid-1880s. As an artist, she tended to switch from a more exacting detail in her paintings, to freer more impressionist brushstrokes. She was commonly exhibited at the Association exhibition in New York and was greatly critiqued by scholars through comparisons to other Male Hudson River School Artists of this time. After exhibiting at the Brooklyn Art Association later on, critics began to enjoy her art and were thoroughly pleased with her compositions. Because of the stark difference in how mens and womens paintings were discussed, Davis wanted to conceal her gender identity by simply signing S. E. Davis on her pieces. This painting is signed lower left and in excellent condition and comes with its period frame.
