Young Girl dressed in White

Item

Title

Young Girl dressed in White

Description

This piece shows a young girl dressed in white who has straight shoulder length blonde hair. She sits facing the viewer, looking directly out with dark eyes.

Creator

Bertha May Ingle

Date

Possibly c.1910: There is not much to back up this date. This is another piece where the canvas has been pasted on masonite, a material not available until the 1930s. These pieces all have matching red numbers on the back and slightly odd signatures. The best theory is they were prepared for a show that was supposed to be held around 1950.
