America, early 20th Century / 1901
On Bos'n's Hill
The Cleveland Museum of Art catalogs On Bos'n's Hill as painting (America, early 20th Century · 1901).
The artist was a popular art professor in Boston, and his followers were nicknamed "Tarbellites."
A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this painting as oil on canvas and credits Edmund C. Tarbell (American, 1862–1938).
The museum's collection notes: Located in New Castle, New Hampshire, Bos’n’s Hill was a favored leisure spot for Tarbell’s family, which included four children. It provides the luminous setting for this depiction of the artist’s wife, Emeline, who strolls through the landscape with a parasol to protect her from the sun, while a beloved pet dog accompanies her. Four years later, the couple purchased a summer house nearby.
