Lovely. And a place that has been witness to so much history. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and good eye. - jeanne in oregon
Jeanne, I'm glad you like this, too. I first saw Peggy Bacon's work last year in a group exhibition "Women Graduates of the Art Students' League, New York". So I went looking for more and cached this image from the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, where there are several more and a biography. www.americanart.si.edu.
