Lucile Blanch met her husband, Arnold Blanch, while studying at the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts. She then attended the Art Students League in New York and began a lifelong friendship with Eugenie Gershoy. Moving to Woodstock in 1923, Blanch ran a small open-air cafeteria with her husband, made items to sell at a local craft market, and painted images of circus performers. This sculpture shows Blanch at a moment of intense concentration. She sits with a palette balanced on her legs and stares at the imaginary work in front of her.
