The Prussing Estate

This painting likely depicts a scene near Gramercy Park.

Born in Syracuse, NY, Hamilton's family encouraged her art studies. She traveled and studied extensively throughout the Continent and also in the States. Her art was exhibited widely - from New York, Virginia, Washington, DC, the Bahamas, Paris, London, and beyond. By 1946, she was splitting her time mostly between Nassau in the summer and New York for the remainder of the year.
