Fuller was involved in the artists' colony in Cornish, New Hampshire, a special atmosphere where artists worked together against a backdrop of theatre, poetry and gardening. This portrait shows Ebba Bohm, a Swedish model who lived with the Fuller family in Cornish, as she looks at a vase of irises, lost in an idealised world of the artist. Her kimono with deep cleavage and the vase of flowers allude to Asian aesthetics, which influenced many American painters at the time.
Henry Fuller came from an artistic family and he studied with painters Dennis Bunker, William Merritt Chase and Kenyon Cox. He spent the most productive years of his career in the artist colony of Cornish, New Hampshire, a community where artists balanced their studio work with theatre, poetry and gardening. Fuller's work is not particularly well known, nor do many examples of it exist: he was not a leader of the Cornish colony, but he admirably embodied its ideals and concerns.
Henry Brown Fuller (1867-1934) was an American painter of classical and allegorical works.
