The New York Window, 1912
An unidentified critic praised The New York Window in 1913: "Twilight has fallen , or it is afternoon of a gray day; through the window shadowy forms of great buildings loom as ghosts against the sky. It is the hour of rest, of meditation, and every line of the figure seated by the window conveys this suggestion." The painting proved to be a commercial as well as a critical success, earning two distinguished awards at the Corcoran's Fourth Annual Exhibition, from which it was purchased. |
