Haskell Coffin (1878-1941) American, Oil on Canvas Portrait. Signed in lower right. The three-quarter-length portrait depicts an aristocratic 1920s bride rendered in subtle, luminous tones of white, ivory, and cream. She wears an ethereal drop-waist gown paired with a dramatic flowing lace veil, headpiece, and a lavish white fur muff. Coffin's soft, idealized technique highlights delicate facial features and complex textile textures set against a subdued, dark mottled background. Best known for his iconic cover illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post, McCall's, and Redbook, Coffin was celebrated for his depictions of ideal American female beauty.
