Alice Ravenel Huger Smith (American/South Carolina, 1876-1958), "Sunris$E", watercolor on artist board, signed lower right, 21 5/8 in. x 15 3/8 in., framed. Provenance: Succession of Harry T. Howard III. The artist was a cousin of Mr. Howard's mother, Elise Mason Smith Howard (1896-1990). Note : A founding member of the Charleston Etchers Club, Smith studied the Japanese woodblock collection of a cousin and built on those observations to produce a number of prints before giving up the medium to pursue watercolor full time. It was in this medium that Smith produced her best work, combining her study of Japanese art with her observations of the Lowcountry to create flowing tonalist watercolors, an excellent example of which is ""Sunris$E"", probably painted on a barrier island near her home."
