Snow Storm in Vermont, 1800s

Mary Altha Nims

1817–1907 · 5 works

Mary Altha Nims made drawings and watercolors of buildings, landscapes, flowers and insects. Her softly shaded architectural scenes contrast with the sharply defined leaves and bright colors of her botanical subjects. Seen together, they offer different ways of turning careful observation into a clear and orderly composition.
