Est: $1,500 - $2,000
ATTRIBUTED TO SARAH GOODRIDGE American, 1788-1853 Four young children, two boys and two girls. One girl swings on a swing. Sarah Goodridge (b. Boston) was self-taught, but after meeting Gilbert Stuart, her works became less primitive. This is probably one of her early works, c. 1805-1812. Notes on reverse state the companion piece to this work is in the M. and M. Karolik Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Our research has shown that currently there is nothing in the museum that might be a companion piece to this work. Watercolor, 4 7/8" x 6 7/8". Gilt frame.
