Charlotte Buell Coman (American/New York, 1833-1924), "New Jersey Hills in Autumn from Cedar Crest Farm", oil on canvas, signed lower left, titled en verso and along upper tacking edge, 16 in. x 19 in., framed, overall 20 1/4 in. x 23 3/8 in. x 2 in. Note: Charlotte Coman started painting in her mid-forties after experiencing hearing loss and becoming almost entirely deaf. She studied in New York and Paris and was greatly influenced by the Barbizon school of painting. She adopted the style in her own landscapes and was one of several noted artists who brought Barbizon techniques to the United States. Good humored, Coman once joked that one of the advantages of hearing loss was that she was spared harsh criticism from art critics who shied away from shouting their opinions into her ear trumpet. Over time, her artwork evolved, and she became known for her tonalist quality and hazy, blue-toned landscapes. Her artwork can be found in the collections of the Arnot Art Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Ref.: Rubenstein, Charlotte Streifer.
