About the piece
Painted in 1892 by American artist J. Ottis Adams, this double portrait depicts Martha Wysor Marsh and her son John Edwin. The work is a masterclass in texture, showcasing the delicate lace and Greek key patterns of the mother's gown against a richly detailed, golden floral background. It represents a refined example of American Impressionist influence on traditional portraiture.
