About the Item

A fine impressionist painting of figures dancing by American artist Wayman Elbridge Adams (1883-1959). Adams was born in Muncie, Indiana, studied at the Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis, and also with William Merritt Chase in Italy and Robert Henri in Spain. In California, he was a resident of Los Angeles in 1916 and painted scenes of San Francisco's Chinatown. Adams is known for portraits of prominent persons including authors, painters, political leaders, etc. His portrait of Booth Tarkington brought him early recognition, and he was known as a "lightning" artist because his portraits were completed in one sitting. Ethnic types constitute one of the most intriguing aspects of his work. Oil on panel, signed upper left, title inscribed on verso “Foxtrot,” and housed in a giltwood Stanford White style frame. Dimensions: 16 in H x 12.5 in W, actual; 21.75 in H x 18.5 in W x 1 in D, framed. Ref: 8
