DescriptionBased in Los Angles as of 1884, William and Alberta McCloskey continued to travel up until their separation in 1898. The French title of this large format painting of Eleanor, the couple’s daughter, underscores its having been painted on one of the family’s stays in Paris. Around the turn of the 20th century, Paris became a magnet for Californian artists, who flocked there to study and establish their reputation in the world’s art capital.On View
