About the Item

Vira McIlrath Scheibner First Baptist Church of St. Augustine, 1943 Signed and dated lower left Oil on canvas 38 1/2 x 27 1/2 inches Provenance Private Collection, Massachusetts Estate of the above, 2025 Originally from New Hope, Pennsylvania, after getting married in 1921, Vira McIlrath Scheibner began living in St. Augustine, Florida. Here, she depicted the characteristic combination of architectural styles, mainly Spanish Colonial, which were primarily influenced by its long history as a Spanish settlement as well as developments during the Gilded Age. Bringing her Pennsylvania Impressionist sensibilities to the ancient city, Scheibner applies a striking pallet of cerulean, cobalt, and sage, to loosely depict the lush foliage of the live oak tree, as well as the abstract pattern of shadows produced by it on the walkway.

"Village Green" Mary Bradish Titcomb, Bright American Impressionist Landscape
Located in New York, NY
Mary Bradish Titcomb Village Green Signed lower left Oil on canvas 24 x 20 inches A native of Windham, New Hampshire, upon graduation from high school, Titcomb studied at the Massachusetts Normal Art School, before accepting a position as a drawing teacher in the public schools of Brockton, Massachusetts, where she remained for fourteen years before resigning, in 1889, to study painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Her instructors there included Edmund Charles Tarbell, Philip Leslie Hale, and Frank Weston Benson. In the 1890s she went to Paris to study with Jules Joseph Lefebvre and to travel. She then returned to Boston, taking studio space at the Harcourt Studios, where all three of her teachers kept space. In 1895 she became a member of the Copley Society and began exhibiting locally; from 1904 to 1927 she showed work in 29 exhibits at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. She began signing her name as "M. Bradish Titcomb" in 1905 to avoid prejudice against her gender. The same year saw her making a sketching trip to the artists' colony at Old Lyme, Connecticut, a center for the American Impressionists; this trip seems to have cemented her interest in the style. In 1915, Titcomb's Portrait of Geraldine J. – the mother of actress Jane Russell – was shown at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and purchased by President Woodrow Wilson; another portrait, of Frank P. Sibley, was reproduced in the Boston Globe. During this period her work was shown in a traveling exhibition with that of Cecilia Beaux, Lydia Field Emmet, Jean MacLane...
