A lovely painting by an early California artist.
Marie Antoinette Ney (1846-1915) was born in Vernon, Oneida County, New York, into a wealthy family; her father was a stockbroker. She attended the Cooper Institute and the Art Students League in New York City, and subsequently taught art in New Jersey and Long Island.
In 1889 she moved to Southern California, and for a time lived in a cabin that she built for herself near Mt. Wilson in the San Gabriel Mountains, overlooking Pasadena and the Los Angeles basin. In the 1890s she taught art in Pasadena's schools, including the Throop Institute (later Cal Tech), where she was in charge of drawing and painting while rooming at the Institute's Wooster Building. The Throop was then identified with Pasadena's so-called Arroyo Seco Culture, a community of artists, crafts-people and writers living on the hillsides of the arroyo, whose work married Spanish, and California Indian, materials and designs to the wider Arts and Crafts Movement.
