Title
Portrait of Girl with Brown Hair
Description
This piece shows a young girl with tied back brown hair and blue eyes. She is looking directly at the viewer and what she is wearing is non descript, as the painting is unfinished.
Creator
Bertha May Ingle
Date
Possibly c. 1910: Based on the hairstyle, clothing, and brushwork.
The canvas has been pasted to masonite, a material not available until the 1930s. This is part of 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.
