Frank Schille Constans
Alice Schille was one of the most talented American watercolor artists working in the first half of the twentieth century. In addition to her modernist watercolor compositions, she executed miniature portraits in watercolor. This lively portrayal of her favorite nephew Frank Schille Constans reveals the artist’s mastery in this medium as seen in her confident lightly applied brush strokes and bright palette.
