Item Details
An original oil painting on board by listed American artist Evelyn Borchard Metzger (1911-2007). This portrait, possibly from a series Metzger painted from her son’s photos from Mardi Gras, depicts a woman in a bright floral dress and red head scarf in front of a crowd of festival goers. The work is singed in the lower left ‘E. Metzger ’98’. It is presented ready to hang in a black wood frame.
Born in New York City, Evelyn Borchard Metzger studied at Vassar College with Clarence Chatterton, and at the Art Students League with George Bridgman and Rafael Soyer. Though Metzger is best known for her paintings of New York City’s Central Park, she has also worked and painted in Mexico, France and other parts of the world, including a major exhibition at Galleria Muller in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1950. Metzger’s work is inspired by a variety of artistic styles, including Realism, Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism. Her works have been exhibited in The Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC, the Mexico-American Cultural Institute in Mexico City, the Bartholet Gallery in New York City, the Arsenal Gallery in New York City, among others.
