"content": "\"Girl in a Green Cap,\" Laura Wheeler Waring, 1930.\n\nWaring (1887-1948) was THE great portraitist of the Harlem Renaissance, painting many of the notable Black people of the era. \n\nBorn in Hartford, CT, the daughter of a minister, her family was educated and cultured, and her ancestors had been part of the Underground Railroad. She attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, graduating in 1914. She traveled briefly in Europe, returning home when WWI started, but returned in the 20s, where she honed her style and exhibited in Paris galleries.\n\nReturning to the US in 1927, she was commissioned to do portraits of figures of the Harlem Renaissance; this project, along with her work teaching at Cheyney University, an HBCU outside Philadelphia, was to consume the rest of her life. Her work is now featured in some of the country's top museums and galleries.\n\nThe subject of this portrait is unknown, but her calm confidence and self-assurance, and that knockout outfit, are beyond question.\n\nHappy Portrait Monday!\n\nFrom the Howard University Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.\n\n#Art #LauraWheelerWaring #Portrait #PortraitMonday #HarlemRenaissance #BlackHistory #MLKDay #BelieveInYourself\nhttps://social-cdn.vivaldi.net/system/media_attachments/files/115/924/661/041/058/652/original/20e87008ba067ccf.png\n",
