Exhibition
Philadelphia
19 Jan 1903 – 28 Feb 1903
The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts held its seventy-second annual exhibition in Philadelphia from 19 January to 28 February 1903. Edwin Austin Abbey’s oil painting “Who Is Sylvia? What Is She, That All the Swains Commend Her?” was listed as number 18. The painting had been made between 1896 and 1899 and reworked in 1900. This record reconstructs its documented participation; the annual exhibition’s complete selection remains to be recovered.
