She is best known for her avarelles from Venice. She was the oldest of four daughters of Swedish-born artist Anthony Rubens Montalba (1812-1884) and Emeline, née Davies. All of the daughters achieved success as artists, and Clara was the greatest of them. Clara Montalba studied in Paris under Eugene Isabey and later in Venice at the Accademia di Belle Arti.

New England Watercolor by American Artist George Howell Gay
By George Howell Gay
Located in New York, NY
George Howell Gay (American, 1858-1931) Untitled Landscape, c. late 19th-early 20th century Watercolor on board 12 x 17 3/4 in. Framed: 16 1/4 x 22 1/4 in. Signed lower right: Geo Howell Gay George H. Gay was well known for his watercolor landscapes, seascapes and paintings of rivers and ships, mostly along the shores of New England. Gay also painted snowscapes, but these are scarcer. It is unusual to find an oil painting by this artist, as he worked mainly in watercolor. Some of his works display a tonalist aesthetic. He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July 2, 1858, and lived in Chicago and then in 1889, settled in Bronxville, New York. Gay was a pupil of Paul Brown and Henry Elkins in Chicago. He is known to have exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1890; Boston Art...
