Morse trained at New York’s Cooper Union School of Design for Women as well as the Art Students League and, like many women artists of her day, specialized in works on paper and decorative design. She may have befriended painter Helena de Kay Gilder, the subject of this intimate watercolor sketch, at either school. The informal representation suggests the close friendship between the artist and sitter, to whom it was gifted.
