Dorothy Tucker wearing Plumed Chapeau

A feather in her cap: A bit of effort was put in by her father to create this more stylized home portrait of Dorothy Tucker. (1899-1986) The artist surname appears on the mount at lower right and is dated 1900 on the mount verso, along with print type and name of subject in graphite: “Dorothy T.”

Charles Rollins Tucker, 1868-1956.
