Early Pratt Painting

Title: Early Pratt Painting
Description: : Created in 1888 by M. Lillian Pratt Kinzel, this painting of Black Eyed Susans is done in Gouache on board, an inexpensive, thin, semi-rigid support created for use by students in schools, academies, or universities. Identified by a paper label this board was made by F. W. Devoe & Co a New York based purveyor of paints, canvas, and brushes. In the painting, Lillian used rather dark tones of tans and browns for the background and dark green for the leaves of the flowers. Even with the dark tones the painting calls to mind the concern of landscape that was prevalent among American Impressionists of the day.
