A beautiful early 20th century oil painting by Mabel Greer, female artist from Chelsea, Massachusetts, showing boats at Gloucester wharf. Gloucester was home to the famous and one of the oldest American art colonies, Rocky Neck, which attracted artists such as Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper. Famous American writers such as Louisa May Alcott and Rudyard Kipling also frequented the settlement. Greer was an artist for 70 years and a prolific member of the New York Watercolor Society, the North Shore Arts Association and the Society of Independent Artists of Boston. The Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts, includes several examples of her work.
