Charcoal and pastel, circa 1935. 460x380 mm; 18 1/4x15 inches. Signed in charcoal, lower right recto.
The current work by Daugherty (1889-1974) is likely a study for a mural, possibly intended for the State Armory in Hartford, but never commissioned. The Connecticut State Library, Hartford, holds additional studies from the same project in its collection.
Provenance: Paul Whitney Cooley, West Hartford; with the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, with the labels; thence to Jeffrey Cooley, West Hartford; sold Sloan's Bethesda, North Bethesda, Maryland, January 22, 1999, lot 1392, to current owner, private collection, Rockville, Maryland.
