Martha Walter
Clara with Charles

Circa 1920

About the Item

This piece is a pertinent example of Martha Walter's most precious oil portraitures. Her use of the pallet is effortless with bold brushwork, strong executions, and soft details. Walter's was in the same league as many established and well-known men painters of her time such as Monet and Degas. For her work to be accepted on their same caliber was almost unheard of during the early 20th Century. This piece exhibits this caliber, as her technique shines with confidence and beauty. This painting is in excellent condition, displayed in a beautiful gold color wood frame and signed lower right. This painting measures 18 x 15 in Framed measures 24.25 x 21.25 in Martha Walter was an acclaimed American Impressionist painter, and one of the premier female artists to be recognized within the fine arts community of the time. Known for her bright plein air beach scenes and domestic portraits, she studied under William Merritt Chase and was greatly influenced by the then-established French Impressionists Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, and Eugène Boudin. Walter's works took on a looser style; she also used black paint, a color often excluded by other Impressionists. PROVENANCE: The Turak Gallery acquired from Martha Walter Estate. Includes a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the Gallery.
