Item Details

An oil painting on canvas landscape by Dorthy Day Tufts (Massachusettes, 1898-1980). Depicted in an impressionist style landscape with barren trees and green foliage.

Tufts is known for her landscapes, still lives, and portraits of family and friends. In 1919, Tufts briefly attended the Yale Art School but later left due to personal injury.
