Provenance Notes

The painting was gifted to Ball State University by the heirs of Edmund Burke Ball.

The Ball family were American industrialists and philanthropists and their product most widely recognized still today are “Ball jars” which are used for canning.

The Ball brothers from left to right: George A. Ball, Lucius L. Ball, Frank C. Ball, Edmund B. Ball, and William C. Ball

The former Indiana State Normal College, Eastern Division was named Ball State University in 1965 in recognition of the family generosity. Ball State is one of a few public colleges in the U.S. that includes a family name.
