A peaceful, intimate studio drawing depicting the artist's wife, Virginia seated in their summer home and studio in Calais, Vermont. Artwork size: 19 x 12 1/2 inches (sheet), unframed, presented in an archival, 4-ply antique white mat measuring 24 x 18 inches (ready to frame).

Harold Emerson Haydon was born in 1909 in Fort William, Ontario, Canada. He moved to Chicago with his family in 1917 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1941. Haydon attended the University of Chicago Lab School and the University of Chicago, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree in Philosophy. He also studied at the Art Institute of Chicago in the early 1930s. Haydon became a Professor of Art at the University of Chicago from 1944-1975 and later taught as an instructor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1975-1981. From 1975-1982, Haydon also taught as an Adjunct Professor of Fine Arts at Indiana University.
