Young Woman by Abbott H. Thayer, c.1898

Thayer frequently painted idealized women, a popular subject in late nineteenth-century art. The model for this painting was Bessie Price (1879–1968), an Irish immigrant who worked as a servant in the Thayer household and soon became one of the artist's favorite models. The figure is draped in classical style, recalling ancient Rome, yet she is also a "profoundly human presence," as the critic Royal Cortissoz wrote in 1923. "Young Woman" received a gold medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition. The work retains its original frame, which was inspired by the designs of the architect Stanford White.
