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. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Strickler, Susan E., Linda Jones Docherty, Erica E. Hirshler, and Edmund Charles Tarbell.
