NOW ON VIEW in the American Art Galleries: Lydia Field Emmet
Back on view in the American galleries is William Merritt Chase’s striking full-length portrait of Lydia Field Emmet, another successful portrait painter of the era. Emmet’s direct gaze and bold pose, with her elbow assertively aimed at the viewer, speak to her spirit of independence. She began her artistic training in the early 1880s in Paris at the Academie Julien, and when she returned to her native state of New York after in 1885, she worked as an illustrator for Harpers & Brothers, as well as a decorative designer, where she designed stained glass windows for the Tiffany Glass Company.
Emmet studied under Chase at the Art Students League from 1889 to 1895 and served as an instructor at his painting summer school in Shinnecock, New York. This portrait was painted at the time she was preparing a mural titled Art, Science, and Literature for the Women’s Building at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Emmet’s income was largely derived from painting portraits—particularly those of children— and she was in great demand after 1900, making her a rare example of a professional woman artist of her generation.
