ALFRED H. MAURER Young Girl in Blue.
Tempera and gesso on board, circa 1918. 667x453 mm; 26 1/4x17 7/8 inches. Signed in tempera, lower right recto, and signed with the artist's address in crayon, verso.
Provenance: Private collection, New York.
Maurer (1868-1932) was born in New York, the son of German-born lithographer, and collaborated early on with his father before studying with the sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward and painter William Merritt Chase during the mid-1890s. He went on to become a leading American avant-garde painter, as evinced by this modern portrait, an early predecessor to his so-called "Girl" series of paintings.
