Ellen Frances Burpee Farr
California Pepper tree
1888

About the Item

Measurements Painting 19 x 12 inches Framed 24.5 x 17.5 inches Ellen Frances Burpee Farr (1840–1907) was a pioneering American woman painter known for her detailed floral and botanical works of remarkable precision and depth. She was originally from New Hampshire and later moved to California, where she became known for capturing the region’s lush plant life in her paintings. Farr’s work often features delicate, naturalistic depictions of flowers, leaves, and cascading vines, emphasizing intricate details and vibrant colors. This botanical composition of the pepper tree, a ubiquitous and beloved feature of the California landscape, is most associated with her work, and features pink and red berries surrounded by delicate fern-like leaves. The style aligns with Farr’s focus on nature, showing careful attention to color and texture. The antique carved wood frame is covered in 23k gold. She was married to Evarts Farr, a politician and Civil War officer, and after his passing, she relocated to Pasadena, California. There, she became part of the growing artistic community, painting scenes inspired by the region’s lush gardens and landscapes. Farr's work is often characterized by realistic detail, soft yet vibrant color palettes, and an appreciation for nature’s intricate beauty. This painting is a fine example of Farr’s botanical focus. The cascading branches are Schinus molle (commonly known as the Peruvian pepper tree), which is common in California and produces distinctive pinkish-red berries. The fern-like leaves add an intricate texture, and the background features a soft sky-like gradient, creating a sense of depth. Farr’s meticulous brushwork and use of shading make the berries and leaves appear almost three-dimensional, demonstrating her skill in realism. A lovely small work that would fit in many different areas of a home, especially in an intimate setting such as a bedroom. This painting has been professionally cleaned and restored.
