Biography: Rosalie Gill was one of many women encouraged after the Civil War to become an artist. Born in Baltimore and trained in New York at the Art Students League under major American painter William Merritt Chase, this woman artist painted with loose brushwork in the tradition of late 19th-Century American artists. Her artwork features a palette similar to the rich browns, reds, golds and greens that Chase used. A work held by The Baltimore Museum of Art shows Gill's handling of a subject popular among artists and the public during the last quarter of the 19th-C: The New Model, depicts a woman unsure about the duties that will be expected of her, in an artist's studio (no doubt that of William Merritt Chase); Gill painted this artwork at about the age of 17.
