item 109.5 Charming young child with rosy cheeks - hard-to-come-by painting by Esther Williams (American 1907-1969) original oil on canvas Work titled "Winter" as written on back. Signed lower right Esther Williams (1907-1969) was from a Boston family that included numerous painters, among them her mother, Esther Baldwin Williams (1867-1964), with whom she has at times been confused, her mother’s cousin Adelaide Cole Chase (1868-1944), and Chase’s father, Joseph Foxcroft Cole (1837-1892), who taught art to his daughter and niece. Cole was a prominent proponent in America of the Barbizon landscape school of painting, having studied in France with Charles-Émile Jacque (1813-1894), and he was a co-founder of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It was thus perhaps preordained that Esther Williams would become an artist herself. And what a talented one, at that! Visible image size: 12 x 8.5 Inches easel not included 62 / 1016 -
