The American painter William McGregor Paxton (1869-1941) is best known as a portrait painter and co-founder of the The Guild of Boston Artists. Portraits of elegant women in handsome interiors, engaged in leisurely activities, were among some of his most sought-after works. Paxton’s subjects were often depicted in lush clothing, bathed in subtle golden light, reminiscent of Johannes Vermeer’s oeuvre.

In this collection of paintings, Paxton makes use of two lovely pieces of clothing repeatedly: a beautifully embroidered chinoiserie jacket and a pink silk gown 🩷
