ETHEL MARS Woman with a Bouquet.
Watercolor over pencil on paper. 400x310 mm; 15 3/4x12 1/4 inches. Signed in pencil, lower right recto.
Mars (1876-1959) was born in Springfield, Illinois, and studied at an early age at the Cincinnati Art Academy. Toward the end of 1905/beginning of 1906, Mars moved to Paris, settling permanently in France aside from some time back in the U.S. during World War I. This watercolor (and lots 245, 246, and 248) is typical of Mars' artistic style in France from the 1920s onward.
