American artist Lydia Field Emmet attended the Académie Julian in Paris in 1884-1885 alongside her sister, Rosina Emmet Sherwood. Their family had suffered severe economic setbacks in the aftermath of the Civil War but were able to send the sisters abroad due to inheritance money from their cousin. Unsatisfied with their education at the Académie Julian, Emmet and her sister joined a summer colony of American Artists in Giverny, France. The colony, including artists Theodore Robinson and John Leslie Breck stayed at Hotel Baudy, near the home of the legendary painter Claude Monet. Upon her return to the United States, Emmet studied under the famous portraitist William Merritt Chase and became a member of the National Academy of Design. Most known for her portraits of children, Emmet preferred to paint adult sitters, as she did not consider child portraits to be especially challenging work. Here she depicts Susan Vanderpoel Ord a member of the New York elite. The loose brushstrokes used to capture the draping of Ord’s beautiful red velvet dress, the reflection of her bare arm on the table, as well as the Japanese-inspired background show the influence of Chase in Emmet’s painting style. Years earlier, in 1893, Emmet was selected, along with prominent women American artists such as Mary Cassatt, Mary MacMonnies-Low, Lucia Fairchild Fuller and her sister, Rosina, to paint murals in the newly constructed Woman's Building at the World's Columbian Exposition. Emmet's contributions included a painting entitled “Seal of the New York State Board” and a mural entitled “Art, Literature and Imagination.” Emmet exhibited widely during her career, and her paintings can now be found hanging in the White House, and many prestigious art galleries, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. One of Emmet's most famous portraits is that of her young nephew, playwright Robert Emmet Sherwood.
