## About this work

Alfred Henry Maurer painted this ((c. 1904)), aged 36. It is now at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC.

### How it was made

- **Oil paint.** Pigment ground in a drying oil, usually linseed. It dries slowly, so painters could blend on the canvas, build up thin translucent glazes, and rework a picture over weeks. Canvas replaced wooden panels in the 1500s because it is lighter and can be rolled.
