Frederick Carl Frieseke was an American Impressionist painter notable for his richly patterned depictions of women, which often featured dappled light and an expressive use of color. In his youth, Frieseke was fascinated by the arts; after graduating from high school in Owosso, Michigan, he enrolled in the Art Institute of Chicago and later the Art Students League in New York. In 1898, Frieseke traveled to France to study at the Academie Julian. In Paris, Frieseke had brief contact with James Abbott McNeill Whistler and became enamored with French Impressionism.
