Edith Emerson was an American painter, muralist, illustrator, writer, curator and a pioneering champion of women in the Arts. Born in Ohio, Emerson studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where she attended Violet Oakley's Mural painting class. She won scholarships in 1914 and 1915 and travelled throughout Europe, received prizes for Mural painting and exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts between 1918-45. Emerson became Violet Oakley's devoted partner, living and working with the famed muralist for over 40 years. She was a visionary female curator of the Woodmere Art Museum from 1940-1978 and, following Violet Oakley's death in 1961, founded the Violet Oakley Memorial Foundation promoting her life partner's work. An oil version of this work is held by the Woodmere Art Museum, and a reproduction of the present work is held in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Archive. Condition Report: Framed: 67 x 57cm.
