Jane E. Bartlett

She studied under William Morris Hunt in Boston in the late 1860s.

She developed a style of portraiture based on the principles he taught, including a spontaneous approach and a lack of trivial detail.

She lived in Colorado and Minnesota before returning to Boston in 1877, where she worked out of a studio at 17 South Russell Street until 1887.

Contemporary critics praised Bartlett for having a "fresh, strong hand and hearty, unaffected way of seeing and painting things," and for her "strong heads, bold and masculine in untormented color and confident handling.

"[1] Bartlett's portrait of the actress Sarah Cowell Le Moyne is on display at the Brooklyn Museum.
