Information |
House portraits - detailed depictions of specific homes and their surrounding property - were a common artistic product in America during the nineteenth-century, especially in rural areas, where a house and its associated land were closely linked with the owner's prosperity. Moses' "The Salmon Place," following in this tradition, depicts the home of relatives of her husband, Thomas Salmon Moses. |
