6 Historical Works, ca. 1913

Florist (Group) depicts two matrons on a day trip to town with their children.  Dressed in fine attire, the females wear muffs on their hands and the boys stuff their hands into their pockets, perhaps indicating the chilliness of the weather.  Behind the figures, the florist shop displays large bouquets of red and white flowers, while the window on the right presents a number of other objects, such as bird cages.

Dimock was one of a group of women to exhibit at the 1913 Armory show where she lent a group of eight watercolors. Six of those watercolors are owned and offered by Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts, LLC, while the other two are in the permanent collection of The Barnes Foundation (Philadelphia).

All eight of Dimock’s watercolors were purchased from the Armory Show; six were sold as a group for $280 to George E. Marcus, and Sweatshop Girls in the Country and Mother and Daughter were sold to John Quinn for $35 each. All 8 are framed identically with frames believed to be original to the works.
