| Description |
Widely regarded as the leading female artist working in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century, Cecilia Beaux was internationally acclaimed for her high-style portraits and figure paintings. Intimate and complex in mood and style, Half Tide, Annisquam River is a rare example of Beaux’s landscape work—the artist painted less than a dozen pure landscapes, and the locations of most of these are presently unknown. A nearby view from Beaux’s summer home and studio at Green Alley on Eastern Point in Gloucester, Massachusetts, this gemlike painting represents the artist’s only known landscape of Gloucester and one of her most freely painted Impressionist subjects. |
