(English, 1849-1922)

Winged Figure Seated Upon a Rock, ????

Oil on canvas

 A later painting, Winged Figure Seated upon a Rock, was another canvas begun as an alternative conception of the Stevenson Memorial, but was not completed until years later. In 1914 Thayer transformed it into a memorial for his late wife, with his daughter Gladys posing for the figure and a Latin inscription translated as "Mother of my daughter! To you this monument" painted below.
