专家说明


The artist's wife Elizabeth modeled for the present work, which was painted during the summer of 1913 in a Victorian house in Hyannis, Massachusetts. According to Charles Buckley, "The Front Parlor, which was painted in 1913, is one of the artist's best known works and it is fully characteristic of his mature style." ("The Front Parlor by William McGregor Paxton," Saint Louis Art Museum Bulletin, vol. 11, no. 6, p. 107)
