- Lot Description
AMERICAN SCHOOL
19th Century
Memorial "Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Rebecca Barber who departed this life September the 4th 1828 Aged 48 years". Depicts a woman mourning at a monument, accompanied by her dog. While the monument is below a weeping willow, as typical for memorials, it is located between imposing homes in a setting far more urban than the bucolic landscape traditionally seen.
Watercolor and ink on paper, 18.5" x 14.75" sight. Framed 23" x 19".
Provenance:
The Collection of Martha Hamilton.
Notes:
Genealogical research indicates Rebecca Hosmer Barber was born November 18, 1780, the daughter of Stephen Hosmer and Sara Davis of Acton, Massachusetts. She married Jonathan Barber, a farmer, on September 14, 1800, and she died of consumption in Charlestown.The absence of a condition report does not imply an object is free of defects.
