About the Item

The Goldfish Bowl by Richard Miller (1875-1943) Oil on canvas 37 ½ x 29 ¾ inches unframed (95.25 x 75.565 cm) 46 ⅝ x 36 ¼ inches framed (118.428 x 97.155) Signed on lower right Description: Richard E. Miller was an American Impressionist who was known for his paintings of romantic femininity. He began his studies in America at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts before receiving a scholarship that allowed him to study in Giverny, France. While studying in Europe with artists like Frederick Frieseke, Miller became inspired by his neighbor Claude Monet and adopted a lighter, impressionistic style. Miller went on to produce exteriors of porches and lawns containing idealized women, who he often painted in large, decorative dresses. In France Miller received a gold medal from the Paris Salon and was knighted into the French Legion of Honor. He later co-founded the Provincetown Artists Colony in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This oil painting by Richard E. Miller focuses on soft femininity as it exists within an interior space. The figure's muted green dress takes up half of the composition, being articulated with a simple yet pleasing plaid pattern. The focus becomes the action, with the woman daintily laying her hands over a glass ball, divorced from the viewer and infatuated with her own material possessions.

In this prototypical oil painting, Walter Launt Palmer's title as "the painter of the American winter" can be vividly and brilliantly seen.

His pictures evoke an unreplicable natural serenity, and in this oil painting "The Winter Scene...

Description During her expatriate career, between the mid-1880s and return to the United States in 1920, painter and muralist Mary Fairchild MacMonnies (later Low) was one of the most successful American women artists of her generation. Mary Fairchild was born in Connecticut, but was raised largely in St. Louis, Missouri.
