There were many famous artists represented at the New Britain Museum of Art in Connecticut. One of my favorites was John Singer Sargent (1878-1961) who is famous for painting portraits and full canvases of people. This is a portrait of Miss Cara Burch, the daughter of the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Newspaper and a relative of Sargent. When he was done painting the portrait, neither party thought it a success, but today critics praise it as one of his most revealing portraits of children.
