Mary (1913). Robert Henri (American, 1865-1929). Oil on canvas. Addison Gallery of American Art.The painting of Mary O'Donnell embodies Henri’s conception of portraiture and the purpose of art. In this canvas, a vigorous painting style connotes the life force of Henri’s model. Working quickly to capture her mood, he made Mary’s shining face, above her bright red sweater, so vital that her eyes sparkle and her smiling lips seem about to speak. -- source link
