Known for her nostalgic and detailed artwork, Jennie Augusta Brownscombe (1850 – 1936) was nicknamed “the Normal Rockwell of her era.” Brownscombe was born in a log cabin, and began winning artistic awards while still a teenager. After her father’s death, she earned money and national acclaim selling prints of her paintings. Magazines, calendar firms and publishers widely reproduced her sentimental genre works and colonial American scenes. Brownscombe, who exhibited her work in the United States and Europe, founded the Art Students League and painted until age 81.
This giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is acid free with a smooth surface.
