Charles Sydney Hopkinson, American, b. 1869, d. 1962. A portrait painter and landscape watercolorist, Charles Hopkinson maintained a studio in the Fenway Studios building in Boston from 1906 to 1962. He painted over 800 portraits, many of which were commissioned by East Coast institutions, especially Harvard, where he acted as house portraitist. Among his sitters were Oliver Wendell Holmes and Calvin Coolidge. He began to draw for the "Lampoon" upon his entrance to Harvard in 1888, and in 1891, he moved to New York to study at the Art Students' League where he worked with John Twachtman and H. Siddons Mowbray. Hopkinson studied at the Academie Julian in Paris, and exhibited in the 1895 Paris Salon. He exhibited regularly in the national annuals and at several Boston and New York galleries. Instead of allying himself with the local established painters, Hopkinson showed his work with the "Boston Five", a group of young watercolorists though he continued to paint in oil for an elite clientele. On exhibit: "Portrait of a Young Girl in a Yellow Dress". Signed Charles Hopkinson upper left. Oil on canvas. Dimensions: app 20" x 16".   Price  $
