Yellow Roses

Alice Hendee Price 1940
I found this painting at a local thrift shop for less than $10.  Someone had removed the frame, presumably attaching more value to it than to the painting. It is signed by Alice Hendee Price.

Alice Hendee Price (1889-1969) was a artist in Bronxville, New York, who was known for painting portraits but produced very diverse artworks, especially later in life.

She worked from at least 1917-1956, based on newspaper reports and gallery records, including solo shows. One of her earliest works is a wartime food conservation poster.  She also created the chapel triptych shown right which was dedicated in 1947.

Her works don't have  particularly high monetary value but she is certainly a part of America's art history.
