Folio Text: In this graceful and carefully studied composition, with its classical correctness of contours, we have an admirable example of a talented American follower of the Parisian academic school. Miss Elizabeth Jane Gardner, whose middle name is always omitted in her professional signature was born in Exeter, New Hampshire, but her artistic life has been passed in Paris, first as a pupil of H. Merle, Lefebvre, and Bouguereau, and afterward as a painter of the figure and an exhibitor at the Salon, where she has received various honors, and at the National Academy of Design. Many of her paintings are included in important American collections; and her manner, which suggests that of her master Bouguereau, is always characterized by good taste, dignity, and academic correctness.
