Literature
Lance Humphries, Daniel Garber: Catalogue Raisonné, vol. II, New York, 2006, no. D 155, p. 333, illustrated.
Excerpted from Lance Humphries, Catalogue Raisonné:
Oil paintings comprise most of Garber's known oeuvre, but over the course of his career the artist also created many works on paper, including drawings, etchings, and pastels. In addition to being beautiful objects in their own right, these works allow us to better understand Garber's paintings. Not only were many of these pieces created using similar developmental methods, they also speak to Garber's interest in form and the careful constructions of images–in particular in regard to the drawings and etchings–as well as his appetite for exploring all the various media available to him. It is significant that the artist placed all of these types of works on paper before the public. Less formally, Garber explored the creation of decorative art objects and sculpture, largely for his own personal use, and to present as gifts to his family.
This drawing was exhibited under the present title many times during the artist's lifetime and depicts Elsa Laubach (1889–1974), who is also portrayed in cat. D 168. Laubach, a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, became an illustrator and muralist and was known after her marriage to architect Magnus Jemne as Elsa Jemne. The sitter is shown seated on the bench used in the oils The Studio Wall and Portrait of Tanis (cats. P 322, P 324). This sheet was said to date to 1913 when it was exhibited at PAFA in 1945, but it is more likely that the date reads 1915.

Woman with Red Sash
By Philip Leslie Hale
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
An influential critic, writer and teacher, Philip Leslie Hale was an American Impressionist with an experimental, avant-garde approach to painting. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of author Edward Everett Hale and the younger brother of artist Ellen Day Hale, Philip was raised in a lively intellectual atmosphere. He probably received his first artistic training from his paternal aunt Susan Hale, after which he entered the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School under Edmund Tarbell, an American Impressionist painter who greatly influenced Hale’s style. A year later in 1884, the young artist moved to New York City, where he enrolled at the Art Students League and studied under Kenyon Cox and J. Alden Weir. There, his fellow students included Theodore Butler and William Howard “Peggy” Hart.
In 1887, Hale traveled to Paris with Theodore Butler and Susan Hale, where he furthered his artistic training at Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Académie Julian. During this first year, he studied with Jules-Joseph Lefebvre, Gustave Boulanger and Henri Lucien Doucet...
