Label TextLittle is known about this picture, which appears to have taken inspiration from published images of fashionable ladies and gentlemen that appeared in such magazines as "Goudy’s Ladies Book." It is more likely a decorative picture than a memorial, despite the title.Exhibition History“The Flowering of American Folk Art,” M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, San Francisco, CA, June 24, 1974 – September 15, 1974; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, VA, April 22, 1974 – June 2, 1974; The Whitney Museum of Art, New York, NY, February 1, 1974 – March 24, 1974.
