About the Item

"Cattle by the Sea," c. 1867 by historic woman artist Ann Sophia Towne Darrah (American, 1819-1881) was exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1867. Painted in oil on canvas, the work measures 26.13 x 38.13 inches. It is signed by Darrah at the lower right. The work is framed in an elegant, period appropriate frame and is ready to hang. Anne Sophia Towne Darrah was born in Philadelphia on September 30, 1819, to Sarah (Robinson) and John Towne. Darrah’s father and brother, John H. Towne, were both directors of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Her father was also on the board of the Art-Union of Philadelphia established in 1844 to promote the fine arts within the United States. Her sister, Rosalba M. Towne (1827-1909), was also an artist. A talented musician, Darrah’s focus on painting began following her marriage in 1845. In 1849, she began studying under the tutelage of German-born artist Paul Weber (1823-1916). Like Philadelphia native William Trost Richards, Darrah was notable for her paintings of New England landscapes and coastal scenes. Although born a decade apart, they both studied under Weber, and later, inspired by its dramatic coastal scenery, settled in New England. In 1882, a memorial exhibition comprised of over 200 of Darrah’s oil and watercolor paintings was held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Today, her works can be found in collections including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Currier Museum of Art, Manchester N.H.
