Samuel Wood Gaylor c. 1920 Small Watercolor, Woman in Pink Coat with Muff male head poetic interruption to linear orderOne of two watercolor sketches by American artist Samuel Wood Gaylor (1883 1957) today, found at Brimfield this summer; the dealer I bought them from had purchased a body of work by Gaylor and his wife Adelaide Lawson from a one time neighbor of the couple on Long Island. This portrait is unsigned, but a very similar larger portrait of the same subject was sold by Swann Galleries in 2021; I presume this was done as a sketch in advance of that one
