(American, 1872-1951)At the back porch, unsigned, color annotations throughout, watercolor and graphite on paper, 8-1/2 x 10-1/4 in.; silver gilt modern frame, 18 x 19-1/2 in.Note: This watercolor is inscribed throughout with color notations, alluding to the possibility that this was destined to be used as a color illustration or was a preliminary sketch for a larger painting. This is almost certainly the source for his etching "At the Back Porch."ÿ Wright began his career as a commercial illustrator and was apprenticed to a lithographer as a young man. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and counts among his classmates, Robert Henri, John Sloan and William Glackens. - Provenance:
laid down on board, paper slightly toned; frame with abrasions and losses at corners
