Constance Cochrane was born in Pensacola, Florida, at the United States Navy Yard in 1888. As the daughter of a Marine Corps Brigadier General, and coming from a long lineage of naval ancestry, she had adopted a love for the sea at an early age. Cochrane began painting at the age of six and after high school enrolled at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women under Elliott Daingerfield and Henry B. Snell. Always interested in helping to promote women artists, Cochrane became one of the founding members of the Philadelphia Ten in 1917 and remained a significant part of this group until its end in 1945. Cochrane resided in Darby, Pennsylvania, where she kept a studio at the family home called Bywood. She began visiting Monhegan Island in 1921 and returned every summer thereafter. Eventually, with the help of her mother, Elizabeth Lull Cochrane, Constance would buy a property and build a home and studio on Monhegan to be called Anchor Ledge. In 1926, at the age of 60, Elizabeth Lull Cochrane, seeing the apparent need for frames for her daughter’s artwork, would learn the art of frame making. Mastering this craft quickly, Elizabeth would make high-quality hand-carved frames to embellish her daughter’s paintings. Cochrane was an extremely versatile painter and was best known for her realistic renderings of crashing waves and surf as well as for her vibrant, glowing still life. She would exhibit extensively throughout her career and garner many awards. She remained a devoted advocate in the promotion of women’s involvement in the arts.

With pink, white, and purple flower arrangement in a clear glass vase, with some few petals that fell lying on the surface. This painting is a wonderful example of his work from the prime of his career with simple florals with an abundance of color and life. The piece is signed by the artist lower left and it comes housed in a wonderful multicolor vintage wood frame and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 16 x 12 inches Frame measures 19.5 x 15.5 inches Johannes Schiefer was born in 1896 in the Netherlands, and quickly gained notoriety for his landscapes, still life’s and portraits. Schiefer won the Prix de Rome at the age of 19 and studied at the Düsseldorf Academy in Germany, and then moved to Paris where he continued his studies in art at the Beaux Arts, and later at the Villa Medici in Rome. He traveled to paint across Europe, primarily France and Italy and also Latin America. Like Picasso, Schiefer never permitted himself to be “type-cast” in a single monotonous style. If there is anything that typifies his work, it is his versatility, his deft handling of subdued tones to create a unique brilliance of light and color that stamps every painting with his own individuality. In February 1964, Ethel Kennedy...
