Product Detail

This 300 piece, 11" x 17" puzzle is made from the oil on canvas art piece titled "Poppies" by artist Louise Herreshoff Eaton (1876-1967). The painting was a gift to the Museums at Washington and Lee University by Mr. and Mrs. Euchlin D Reeves. This puzzle comes in a lovely tin with information about the artist and the piece on the back of the tin.

The paintings of Louise Herreshoff Eaton vibrate with color and brushwork emblematic of European Post-Impressionists and Fauves. Almost 200 of her portraits, landscapes and still life paintings are part of Washington and Lee University's permanent art collection, a surprise find in a significant donation of ceramics that she and her husband, alumnus Euchlin Reeves '27, gave to the institution in 1967. Organized by Clover Archer, director of the Staniar Gallery, and co-curated by Patricia Hobbs, senior curator of art for the Museums at Washington and Lee, and Tracy Bernabo, curator of Try-me Gallery (Richmond, VA), this exhibition highlights Herrehoff's bold and expressive watercolors in the first significant public display of her work outside of the University's Reeves Center since 1976.
