Grace Hudson (1865-1937) Painting, "Clement / #573"

Biltmore Galleries and Fenn Gallery, New Mexico, labels verso. Dimensions: 16"h x 10"w; (framed): 24"h x 17.5"w. Grace Carpenter Hudson was born to well-educated pioneer parents in Potter Valley, California. She showed an early talent for drawing that was developed by professional training in San Francisco in the early 1880s at the San Francisco School of Design, where she excelled in portraiture. She returned to her parents' home in Ukiah, Mendocino County, where she gave painting lessons and helped out in her parents' photography studio. In 1890 she married again, this time to John Hudson, a physician for the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad that had its terminus in the town. With John's encouragement she began painting the local Pomo Indian peoples whom she had known since a child. She painted over 600 in her lifetime. While nearly all her portraits were of Pomo peoples, she is also known for depictions of Japanese, Chinese, and Hawaiian natives during a year's sojourn in the Hawaiian Islands in 1901, as well as sketches she produced of Pawnee Indians in Oklahoma Territory, circa 1903-04. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $70.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.
