Beschreibung
10.75" x 7.25" (sheet size). A lovely pencil study of roses by Mary P. W. Smith, dated on the lower right "May 1871. Finished Oct 6th, 1871." Unsigned, but guaranteed to be her work. The painting, "Pink Rosebuds," is recorded in Robert Wilson Torchia's The Smiths: A Family of Philadelphia Artists, p. 39, #90. Mary Priscilla Wilson Smith (1819-1874), wife the famed landscape painter Russell Smith, was a talented artist in her own right. Possessed of a deft hand and a keen eye for her subject, her lovely floral paintings and sensitive drawings have long been appreciated. She also provided at-home art instruction for her son, Xanthus, the esteemed nautical and Civil War painter, and her daughter, Mary, a fine painter of small barnyard animals. All of the Smith family members exhibited their works at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. This drawing is from a small archive of Smith family drawings, watercolors, and oil sketches in our inventory. The collection was acquired from a Smith descendant in Maine and includes works by Russell Smith, his wife, Mary Priscilla Wilson Smith, and their children Xanthus and Mary.
