Description
Oil on board - scene of Litchfield Female Academy, Law School students and local townspeople gathered outside of the Female Academy schoolhouse in Litchfield. The building is positioned on a hill in the background. There are two horses in the foreground with male riders. The other figures mingle together. Clothing is not historically accurate - a more colonial revival portrait of the Litchfield past. There is a key to this picture identifying who each of the people are in the painting. The key is a rough sketch of the mural on paper, framed under glass.
Comment
This is a sketch done by the artist in preparation for a larger mural he installed in Alexander Liggett's home on North St. Photographs of the finished mural can be found in the Archives: Litchfield Historical Society Photograph Collection, Buildings and Landscapes, Nils Hogner Murals.
