schoolgirl memorial from Huber

MEMORIAL TO
OLIVER BUNKER ?
New England c.1810-20

In memory/ of/ Mr. Oliver/ Bunker(?)/ Aged

Although the monument to Oliver ? is most impressive, he is yet to be identified. The scene is unusual and somewhat reminiscent of paintings done at the Windsor Female Academy in Windsor, VT. The tall thin figures in black are contrasted with the soft palette of the background. The small figure in white is completely surrounded by what appears to be her mother’s skirt. The trees directly behind the monument look like a series of umbrellas, while the cloud formation is an interlocking puzzle.

Watercolor and ink on silk; 15 ½” x 17 ½” sight, 20 ½” x 22 ½” framed.

$9,500.
