Yosemite: Yosemite from Artist Point

Yosemite from Artist Point

Oil on Canvas 22 x 36 1/2

This painting, likely painted soon after her visit to Yosemite in the summer of 1914, was held in the Barchus family until 1972 when it was sold to a Cleveland, Ohio collector.  Agnes Barchus documented much of the family painting collection in the early 1970’s as she was preparing to write her mother’s biography Eliza R. Barchus The Oregon Artist and this canvas was imaged in that effort. In all likelihood, this may be the only canvas she painted from this Yosemite viewpoint.
