Artwork Description

The impressionist painter Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts (1871-1927) founded the Concord Art Association in Massachusetts in 1917 to promote appreciation and education in the visual arts. The association’s medal of honor was first presented in 1924 to recognize “Meritorious Works.”
