Did You Know?

The artist was a popular art professor in Boston, and his followers were nicknamed "Tarbellites."

Description

Located in New Castle, New Hampshire, Bos’n’s Hill was a favored leisure spot for Tarbell’s family, which included four children. It provides the luminous setting for this depiction of the artist’s wife, Emeline, who strolls through the landscape with a parasol to protect her from the sun, while a beloved pet dog accompanies her. Four years later, the couple purchased a summer house nearby.
