Yosemite: Yosemite from Inspiration Point

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 art 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, and she gave the painting a slightly different title: Yosemite from Artist Point. In all likelihood, this may be the only canvas she painted from this Yosemite viewpoint.
