Lot Notes
Mary Ann Willson lived in upstate New York during the early 1800's, unschooled and somewhat reclusive, her work is strikingly colorful and dynamic in execution. While her subjects often feature the delightful simplicities of life, there appears to be an underlying intensity to her depictions.
Shown within the interior of a room, the reference to the "Tow Sisters" may have been intended to describe "Two Sisters."
A similar work of the same title is illustrated in both Jean Lipman, et al, Five Star Folk Art (New York, 1990), p. 46; and Robert Bishop, et al, The Knopf Collector's Guides to American Antiques: Folk Art (New York, 1983)
