Ellen du Pont Wheelwright was an artist and art collector. She was an important figure in the Wilmington art world.

This would become the home of The Studio Group, a Delaware arts institution.

A Song (before 1926). Robert Brackman (Russia, active United States, 1898-1980). Oil on canvas. LACMA.
As a young man Brackman had admired the styles of Renoir, Monet, Cézanne, and other French painters. His overriding interest in the effects of light and color-which was derived from the impressionists and proved to be the foundation of his technique as a painter -- can be readily detected in A Song. The singer’s shirt and the samovar may refer to the artist’s Russian origins.
