"Young Lady Sewing on Rocking Chair" invites viewers into a tranquil moment of domestic life, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of the American School during a pivotal era in American art history. This lovely painting comes monogrammed lower right in excellent condition!
