Lot Essay
John Carroll was a painter celebrated for his portraits of dreamy, diaphanous women. By using sweeping strokes exaggerating the qualities of his female subjects, Carroll gave his women a striking, otherworldly appearance.
Carroll developed an interest in art at an early age and attended the Mark Hopkins Art Academy in San Francisco, California for three years before becoming an engineering student at the University of California Berkeley. In 1915, Carroll studied art in Cincinnati, Ohio under Frank Duveneck.
Carroll eventually settled in New York and was a member of the Woodstock Art Colony. While living in New York City, Carroll designed stained-glass windows for Tiffany &Co. and taught at the Art Students League.
