Framed Watercolor of Woman Wearing White Gloves, Black Hat with a Red Feather and a Hat Pin, Reading a Book
. S.N., 1911. Drumheller, J.W.; [Hutt, H. (Henry)]. Single Sheet. Good. Item #2352329
Could do with reframing as the backer board and glass are a bit loose within the frame, and a portion of the matte is damaged. Some discoloration to background, possibly from adhesive used to affix the image to the backer.
17 x 13, print about 11 1/2 x 7 1/2. Matted and framed under glass. Inspired by Henry Hutt's March 9, 1911 cover image for Life Magazine, this watercolor was done by J.W. Drumheller. Not a known artist as far as we are aware, so more than likely an amateur practicing from a reference. That being said, it's a well-known image, fairly capably done, and the subject matter makes a great choice for a home library. While it's difficult to date, it's reasonable to assume based on the style of the frame, and the relative availability of the magazine, that it was produced in the 1910s or thereabouts.
