The Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill, New York, is hosting the largest exhibition of Emily Cole's work since the 19th century. Emily Cole (1843–1913), the daughter of Hudson River School founder Thomas Cole, took up painting in his studio as an adult, creating delicate botanical studies on porcelain ceramics. The show features over 100 pieces from the museum's collection, including works on paper and painted china, alongside contemporary responses from eight women artists such as Ann Agee, Jacqueline Bishop, and Francesca DiMattio.
