Lot 499: Marcia Oakes Woodbury (American, 1865-1913), "The Procession (Dutch Children)", c.1895;

pastel/paper, 24" x 18", signed, very nicely framed, exhibition label and Vose Galleries label verso. Woodbury studied with her husband, painter Charles Woodbury. The two were married in 1890, and honeymooned in Holland, among other places in Europe, and that subject became a significant source of inspiration for her work thereafter. She visited Holland many times later, painting Dutch children. She was a member of the New York Women's Art Club and the Boston Watercolor Club. She exhibited at the Boston Art Club, Art Institute of Chicago, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, and the Boston Museum of Fine Art. This is an outstanding example of this artist's work.
