Biography: Alson Skinner Clark was born in Chicago and educated at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League along with William Merritt Chase and Frank Duveneck. From 1898-1901 he was in Paris for further study at Academie Carmen under James Whistler. A successful exhibition in 1903 allowed him to return to Europe, when this scene was likely painted. After serving as an aerial photographer in WWI, Clark settled in southern California, and he would eventually become best known as a California painter. He maintained a studio in Palm Springs and in 1922 he and Guy Rose formed the teaching faculty of Pasadena's Stickney Memorial Art School. His works are in numerous museum collections including those of LACMA, the San Diego Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
