1895
unspecified
From the collection of Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Portrait of Cecilia Tower is a 1895 unspecified by James Jebusa Shannon, a Impressionism work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a woman in a long, light-colored dress with a plunging neckline and a matching shawl draped over her shoulders. She sits in a chair, her hands resting on the armrests, and her feet are visible at the bottom of the canvas. The background is a dark, muted color that contrasts with the woman's light attire. The woman's dress is adorned with a small brooch at the neckline, and she wears a pearl necklace and bracelets on her wrists. Her hair is styled in an updo, and her face is turned slightly to the right. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of elegance and refinement. This painting is reminiscent of the works of James Jebusa Shannon, an artist known for his portraits of high-society women.
Sir James Jebusa Shannon (3 February 1862 – 6 March 1923) was an Anglo-American artist. In 1886 he married Florence Mary Cartwright (d. 1948), with whom he had an only child, the illustrator Kitty Shannon (1887–1974).
