On Bos'n's Hill

About this work

A woman in a long white dress walks down a sunlit hill with her small dog. She holds a parasol to shade herself. Trees and wildflowers fill the background. This hill was a real place where the artist’s family spent summers. His wife, Emeline, is the woman in the painting. Four years later, they bought a house nearby. The scene feels quiet and personal, like a snapshot of a happy moment. If you like this, look up other works about america, early 20th century, american.
