Provenance: Sarasota, Florida collector William Sanders Fanning was born in 1887 in Detroit, Michigan and worked as a staff artist for the Detroit Free Press for 25 years. Much of his career was focused on illustrations and commercial advertisements for the newspaper, and although he was trained in Paris as a painter, his work was not publicly exhibited until after his passing in 1964. Influenced by “fin de siecle” French painting, ( Fin de siècle is a French term meaning "end of century", a term which typically encompasses both the meaning of the similar English idiom turn of the century and also makes reference to the closing of one era and onset of another. The term is typically used to refer to the end of the 19th century), as well as the American Ashcan School, his paintings were soft, yet solidly composed paintings with an imbued humanist philosophy inherited from his forerunners.

These artists helped pave the way for America, New York in particular, to be seen as a center for art innovation after decades of France being the art center of the world. He had more than 70 solo exhibitions during his lifetime. Browne's early artistic training was conventional, and little about his time at the National Academy of Design (1924-1928) suggested he would depart from the traditional methods in which he was being schooled.
