Lilly Martin Spencer: (1822-1902) born in Exeter, England, moved to the US in 1830 as a child with her parents. She lived and worked between New York New Jersey and Cincinnati, and exhibited at the National Academy of Design and the American Art-Union. Her works were all positive and devoid of tragedy, depicting endearing scenes of domesticity; academics have commented that in this period "her paintings exude an enthusiasm and happiness reminiscent of seventeenth-century Dutch art…(and are) enhanced by a disarming gaze directly toward the viewer or his inclusion in a coy flirtation, tease, or practical joke. She also sold possibly a million lithographs of her paintings, but of these she only received profit from the sales of the rights to the painting. She also illustrated books and magazines, such as Godey's Lady's Book and Women of the American Revolution. Source: Addended and edited, Wikipedia, 2024Condition: Very good condition.
