N.B. The artist's daughter and sitter, Lydia Bush-Brown, was born in 1887 and became a noted artist and designer. The location of the painting is "Hillside," the Wyoming, New York, retreat of Lydia Avery Coonley Ward (1845-1924), a writer, suffragist, and supporter of the arts from Chicago. "Hillside" became a retreat for many artists, writers, and dignitaries in the early 20th century. The Bush-Browns moved from New York to Washington, D.C. in 1910. According to the Bush-Brown family papers located at Smith College, Lydia attended Mrs. Coonley Ward's Wyoming Village Summer School in 1916. Letters from Henry Bush-Brown indicate that Margaret Bush-Brown visited Mrs. Coonley Ward in Wyoming, New York, in 1921. (1)
