Edmund C. Tarbell (American, 1862–1938)

Edmund C. Tarbell

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.

A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a woman with light skin tone standing on a sunlit hill, looking at us. She wears a long, flowing white dress and a wide-brimmed hat, holding an open parasol over her shoulder. Behind her, a tan dog looks to our left. A large tree frames the composition, with thick, energetic brushstrokes creating patches of light across the ground and a brilliant blue sky.
