While Kingscote remains closed, we can still celebrate its treasures, including this hint of the coming summer, a lovely watercolor of a hollyhock stalk by Edward Maitland Armstrong (1874-1915). It is signed and dated July 30, 1895. Edward Maitland Armstrong was the son of artist David Maitland Armstrong. He married Gwendolen King of Kingscote in 1901 and worked as a landscape architect based in New York City. This is a gift of the Estate of Mrs. Gwendolen E. Rives. #Kingscote #NewportMansions #DiscoverNewport #RhodeIsland #TheClassicCoast #History
