The Hunter Museum
Robert Henri (1865-1929)
Pet, 1927 (also known as Wee Annie Lavelle)
He was a major figure of the Ashcan School of American urban realism. Henri was also one of the organizers of the group known as "The Eight." They were a loose association of artists who protested the restrictive exhibition practices of the powerful, conservative National Academy of Design.
The frame is a machine and hand carved style popular in the 60's and 70's. It is an a vaguely Louie-ish style with a antiqued leaf finish that allows some of the bole to show.
