This diptych was commissioned for the Mrs. Parsons Chapel at Trinity Episcopal Church in Lenox, Massachusetts. Art historian Coy Ludwig observed the works possess an "interesting Pre-Raphaelite quality" reminiscent of the American Arts & Crafts Movement. While the faces and costumes evoke the styles of Rossetti and Waterhouse, the frame's design, colors, and lettering reflect the influence of the Arts and Crafts aesthetic. Parrish clearly intended a fully integrated artistic expression, recognizing that independent framing would have compromised his intended overall effect.
The overall composition, including its artist-designed frame, reveals Parrish's working methods and his natural artistic inclinations. His initial architectural interests, evident in his early education, made this site-specific commission a natural fit. The deliberate selection of an architectural space within an existing structure further underscores his innate interest in architecture. Moreover, these intimate murals exemplify Parrish's early artistic approach, characterized by a flat, linear style directly informed by his poster and cover designs, which relied on strong contours and silhouettes for impactful visual communication.

Provenance
Private collection, the Netherlands
Note:
We are grateful to Mr Fred Meijer for his attribution to Ludolf de Jongh
Ludolf de Jongh was the son of a shoemaker. When his father moved to Rotterdam, the young Ludolf decided to learn art rather than shoemaking and became a pupil of Cornelis Saftleven. Later he studied under Anthony Palamedes in Delft and still later with Jan van Bijlert in Utrecht.
In 1635 he travelled to France with Francis Bacon. Seven years later, in 1642, he returned to the Netherlands when he heard that his mother had fallen ill. He set up a shop in Rotterdam, and his earliest signed paintings date from that year.
According to Houbraken, his travels had caused him to speak French so fluently, that his parents had to learn French in order to speak with him.
De Jongh’s work shows a strong influence from the Utrecht school of Caravaggio admirers, especially Jacob Duck...

Portrait of a girl with a rose and a red coral necklace (c. 1631)
Located in Amsterdam, NL
David Finsonius (Veere 1597- Bergen op Zoom 1646/1648)
Portrait of a girl with a rose and a red coral necklace
With traces of the artist’s signature and annotated AETATIS S.V. 2 1⁄2 Ao 1631
Oil on panel, H. 104.5 x 79.5 cm
Provenance:
Purchased by Jonkheer Helenus Marius Speelman (1857-1909), Kasteel de Wittenburg; thence by
descent
The work shows a strong resemblance to a portrait by Finsonius in the North Brabant Museum. This
signed and dated "Girl with Basket and Cherries" (Inv. 15529), was painted just a year later, in 1632.
Not only are the paintings remarkably similar in overall size and format, in painting style, and in the
positioning of the girls in full length in their white lace dresses. They are also connected by the
iconographic scheme of the respective coral necklaces, each with a gold memorial medal hanging
from it. Although they are of course individuals, the faces are very similar in their depictions of
features such as eyes, nose, and lips. This points to the same technique applied by the same painter.
Finally, the handwriting is almost the same on the works by Finsonius known so far.
