Description:
|
The style of F.W. Benson is frequently described as "American Impressionist." He was a fellow student in Paris with Edmund Tarbell; later he taught with Tarbell at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. He was a member of the art group The Ten, which included Tarbell and William Merritt Chase. Like Chase, Benson did society portraits like this one as well as plein air paintings. The frame with this painting was specially commissioned by Benson from the Carrig Rohane shop in late 1906. (Source: Farnsworth Museum [website]; http://farnsworthmuseum.org/)
