books0977:Portrait of Laura Owen Miller (Mrs. Julian Bamberger) (1924). Ruth Pratt Bobbs (American, 1884-1973). Oil on canvas. Indianapolis Museum of Art.This portrait depicts young Laura Miller, the daughter of Indianapolis lawyer Sydney Miller, who had served as attorney general under President Benjamin Harrison. Laura became a cub reporter for The Indianapolis New and later wrote three novels. The painting exhibits Bobbs’ style influenced by Chase’s example. The active, loosely brushed surface and natural pose of the pensive, self contained girl recall Chase’s portraits of his daughters, such as Dorothy. -- source link
