Title
Smiling Girl with Hair Up
Description
This piece shows a smiling young girl with blonde hair done up in a bun. She is wears a dark blue dress and looks slightly off to her right side past the viewer.
Creator
Bertha May Ingle
Date
Possibly c. 1900: Based on the clothing, hairstyle, and brushwork.
The canvas has been pasted to masonite, a material not available until the 1930s. Though there is a group of canvases that were pasted to masonite, all with matching red numbers on the back and slightly odd signatures. The best theory is these were pieces prepared for a show that was supposed to be held around 1950.
