Lady in Black (Portrait of Carrie Donaldson) (1900). Louis Mayer (American, 1869-1969). Oil on canvas. Milwaukee Art Museum.Mayer’s Lady in Black has been identified as Carrie Donaldson, a Milwaukee concert singer. Mayer must have thought highly of the portrait, because he selected it to represent him in several national exhibitions. Mayer specialized in somber yet sensitive figural studies that, in their judicious cropping and strong frontality, reflect his knowledge of European portraiture, as well as Japanese art. -- source link
