Working from his home in Manchester, Massachusetts, Charles Hopkinson spent summers painting by the ocean, often using family members and the picturesque surrounding landscape as inspirations for his oils and watercolors. Hopkinson’s five daughters, Harriot (Happy), Mary (Maly), Isabella (Ibby), Elinor (Elly) and Joan, and later his grandchildren, modeled for numerous paintings during their childhood, many of which were exhibited at Vose Galleries’ 1991, 2001 and 2013 solo exhibitions.

Very good. There are a few dots of in-paint in the lower left and lower right corners, and the upper left corner has some unevenness due to the way it was mounted decades ago, presumably by the artist.
