Ruth Whittier Shute|Samuel Addison Shute

Ruth Whittier Shute|Samuel Addison Shute is a Romanticism painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
These New England artists painted finely detailed portraits in watercolor and gold foil on paper in the 1830s. One piece here shows Miss Emeline Parker of Lowell, decked out in lace and holding a fan. The light catches her dress and the gold foil edges like a stage costume. Their work is as crisp as a calling card from a century ago. Tap to see Miss Emeline Parker of Lowell in close-up.
