The President Woodrow Wilson House
Washington, DC, United States

This diminutive landscape by American artist Robert Vonnoh (1858-1933) appeared in the Salamagundi' Club's annual Thumb-box exhibition in New York. It was given to President Wilson's first wife, Ellen Wilson, by the artist in Cornish, New Hampshire in August 1913 when Ellen and her three daughters were summering at Harlakenden. The Wilsons knew Vonnoh and his sculptor-wife Bessie from the artists' colony at Old Lyme, Connecticut. Vonnoh traveled extensively between the East Coast and France, where he was heavily influenced by the Impressionists, particularly Claude Monet.
