Fern Isabel Coppedge was an Impressionist painter who studied at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Philadelphia School of Design for Women (now Moore College of Art & Design) before moving to New Hope, Pennsylvania, in 1929. She was one of the few women artists associated with the Pennsylvania Impressionist group and became well-known for her paintings of Bucks County landscapes, winter scenes, and marine subjects. This particular work depicts the harbor in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where she spent many summers. Although undated, the work’s imaginative color scheme suggests that Coppedge painted it fairly late in her career.“Drying Sails, Gloucester” date unknown, by Fern Isabel Coppedge -- source link
