Sarah Cole

[2] In 1818, her parents immigrated to the United States with four of their children, the sisters Ann, Mary, and Sarah, their brother Thomas, and an aunt.

[1] It is not known when Sarah Cole began to make art, though she first mentions that she is painting in letters to her brother in the mid 1830s.

The paintings are A View of the Catskill Mountain House, a scene of the titular white house on a hill covered with fall foliage and a small seated figure on the ground looking up at it,[6] and Mount Aetna, a view of the mountain in the background with a landscape and people praying to a shrine of an icon.

[1] Another painting by Sarah Cole, Ancient Column Near Syracuse (1848), depicts a landscape with a Neoclassical theme.

In 1888, decades after her death, New York's Union League Club held an exhibition called “Women Etchers of America” that included some of her work.
