Born in Alton, Ilinois in 1870, Agnes Millen Richmond has been considered one of the key American women artists of the 20th Century.

A member of the original Woodstock colony, and married to the artist Winthrop Turney, Richmond spent summers in Mountainville, New York. She painted in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Mountainville, New York. Her work has become well known and appreciated for her ability to present an image of both American indoor and outdoor life, in which men, women and children appear at ease in both their dress and their relation to the setting.
