Dixie Selden (Ohio, 1868 - 1935), "A Cincinnati Beauty," oil on canvas, signed lower right, measures 29 x 23 inches unframed, 39 x 35 inches framed in a large 19th century gold frame under glass. CONDITION: Good. This work is included in Genetta McLean's catalogue raissonne of the artist's work (#241) and was exhibited at the Cincinnati Museum of Art in May 1911 as #186. The work belonged to Mrs. Justus Collins. Justus Collins (1857 - 1934) was a major coal baron in southern West Virginia, and is often remembered as one of the most disliked coal industry officials of his era—both by miners and by fellow coal operators. Dixie Selden studied with Frank Duveneck and William Merritt Chase, who introduced her to Impressionism. Selden painted portraits of Americans, genre paintings, landscapes and seascapes from her travels within the country and to Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Mexico. She helped found and was twice the president of the Women's Art Club of Cincinnati. Her works have been exhibited across the United States.
