The artist.

John Greene, son of the above, by descent, 1955.
Gift to the present owner from the above, 1957.

Charlotte Nichols Greene (1879-1955) was a prominent supporter of artists and musicians in her home city of Boston, Massachusetts. She lived on Beacon Hill at 6 Chestnut Street in an historic home that combined two original homes, believed to be the first on the street and attributed to the architect Charles Bulfinch (1763-1844). A drawing of Mrs. Greene and her son, Stephen, by John Singer Sargent (1856–1925), dated 1924, is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

A son of Mrs. Greene, John Greene, donated the family's home and contents to the nonprofit organization Beacon Hill Friends House in 1957. Bonhams is honored to offer lots 30, 31, 32 and 33 from the Beacon Hill Friends House.
