 Excerpt from "Painting Friends: The Beaver Hall Women Painters"
Prudence Heward's painting Girl on a Hill (1928) and Rollande (1929) are monumental portraits of women in pastoral settings.
The shadowy male figures in the background reinforce the impression of strength in the solidly-painted woman, while simultaneously reminding the viewer that the world in which the artists moves is still dominated by men.
While Marry Cassat's At the Opera (1879) draws attention to women's vulnerability by showing a man training his binoculars on a female spectator, Heward's image suggests that women are autonomous beings (the viewer, not the viewed) with the artistic taste and means to support the arts.
