Ruth Eastman, of the famed Eastman-Kodak family, studied under William Merritt Chase at the Art Students League, where she later taught illustration after furthering her studies in Paris and London. By 1911, Eastman's artwork was in high demand for the covers of leading magazines of the day, such as The Saturday Evening Post, Liberty, and Collier's. The stylish, confident, and active women that graced Eastman's covers are a reflection of the artist's own lively social life and adventurous lifestyle.
