Charlotte Buell Coman (1833 – November 11, 1924)
Coman did not take up painting until she was in her mid 40s. She studied in New York with James Renwick Brevoort and in Paris with Harry Thompson and Émile Louis Vernier. With Vernier she studied plein-air and watercolor painting, and sketched on trips to rural parts of France and Holland. She was influenced by the French Barbizon painters, especially Jean-Baptiste Corot and Charles-Francois Daubigny, and her popular works were compared to those of Corot.
In 1905 Coman received the Shaw Memorial Prize given by the Society of American Artists.
Her work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Arnot Art Museum.
