The Painter Lady, Grace Carpenter Hudson book will accompany the lot.

According to Hudson biographer Searles R. Boynton, Eba, the woman in this painting, modeled often for Hudson. “Eba as Do- sho-ya, a Matron, appeared again in Pomo Basket Maker, and in The Bear Woman. Four full-length portraits of the woman were completed between 1911 and 1913. Each of these had similar backgrounds; still-life studies of Pomo baskets, and costumes.” Eba was also the model for The Wi-ly, posing in Pomo head dress.
