Y Museum of Folk Art (1970), Art Institute of Chicago (1974), St. Louis Art Museum (1975) Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Collection (1975), and Currier Garry of Art (1975.)  It is also published in Three New England Watercolor Painters, pgs. 52 & 53.  This attractive woman wears a black dress with ruched sleeves and gathered skirt.  Ruffles at the neckline are gouache; pencil lines can be seen under the paint.  Her eyes are blue and her face is highlighted in gouache. Davis frequently used a red flower and greenery in her children's portraits, and is rare in a portrait of an adult. In excellent condition. Dimensions:  sight approx. 4.25" x 5.5"; frame 6" x 7.25".
