Mrs. Charles Pelham Curtis

"Mrs. Charles Pelham Curtis" is a compelling portrait that captures the elegance of New York's Gilded Age society, a period when the Four Hundred dominated social life. As society's leading women—such as Mamie Fish, Theresa Fair Oelrichs, and Alva Belmont—shaped high society after Mrs. Astor’s death, this painting exemplifies their refined status. Crafted using oil on canvas, the work balances elements of Realism with a subtle sophistication typical of formal portraits.
