Did You Know?

There is a black-and-white photograph underneath all the paint here.

Description

Virtuoso painting is possible on this very intimate scale, yielding an image that lies on the border between the worlds of photography and the painted miniature. Because the subject’s name and life dates were written on the back, we have found out that White (1883–1987), who never married, spent her life in the vicinity of Winchester, Connecticut, and worked at least into her late sixties as a stenographer and later, secretary to the principal of a school.
