Roland Hinton Perry Portrait of a Lady in Red, 1931

About the Item

Large stunning portrait of a beautiful seated woman in a red dress framed in a period carved giiltwood frame. Signed upper right R. Hinton Perry. Dated indistinctly 1931 or 1939. Roland Hinton Perry (1870-1941) was a sculptor and painter committed to the Beaux-Arts tradition. Born in New York, he studied in Paris at the Académie Julian under Henri Chapu and Denys Puech, at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Jean-Léon Gérôme and at the Académie Delecluse. Shortly after returning from his studies in France, he designed a series of bas-reliefs and a monumental fountain depicting the court of Neptune for the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. In 1905, he was hired to model the statue Commonwealth, which crowns the Pennsylvania Capitol Dome. Other commissioned work includes the relief panels at the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York and the Elk Fountain in Portland, Oregon. Perry was a member of the Grand Central Art Gallery and the National Sculpture Society. Many of his paintings are held by the Detroit Museum of Art. He is also the cousin of Lilla Cabot Perry and the father of Gwen Le Gallienne.
