Date

c. 1950: This piece is of Clara Wignes who boarded with Bertha in the 1950s. 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.
