Description: In this luminous coastal portrait, Charles Parker captures Nina J. Fletcher with remarkable tenderness and nuance. Standing at the edge of Marblehead Neck, she cradles a basket of fresh-cut flowers, her white dress and blue sash glowing softly in the summer light. The distant sailboat and rocky shoreline lend a sense of serenity, while Parker’s impressionistic brushwork brings the surrounding blooms to life with vibrant energy.
The painting is housed in one of the most unique frames we have ever seen, an ornate gilt wicker structure with sculptural flourishes and intricately woven detail. Signed, titled, and dated on the verso, this piece is as historically rich as it is visually striking, blending fine portraiture with decorative and regional charm.
