Marguerite Stuber Pearson

Marguerite Stuber Pearson (August 1, 1898 — April 2, 1978) was an American artist, a painter in the style of the Boston School.

[3] Pearson was known for traditional paintings of women seated in warm domestic scenes, at a piano, knitting, or reading, for example.

[4] An early show of hers, at the Somerville Public Library in 1924, was greeted with appreciation for both her works and her "battle against great odds".

"[8] A later show at the Guild, in 1947, impressed another reviewer with the "compelling calm" and "perceptive tenderness" of Pearson's portraits.

[10][11] Marguerite Stuber Pearson lived permanently in Rockport, Massachusetts from 1942, in a home and studio she had custom built to her needs.
