Early Islam Shrine
Temple Oil Painting
Table still life with Shriner's
Fez. Circa 1880: by Harriet A.E. Jackson (Mrs. John Browning), 19th century,
British. Oil on Canvas, 7 x 10 inches, signed lower right. Paintings on
Masonic themes are quite rare and few have been painted by trained and skilled artists as
has this. The frame is the original, 2 inch wide, dark oak, Arts and Crafts period. (The
Frame is not shown) Ms. Jackson is listed in Benezit as a painter of
historical subjects. The detail work in this painting is meticulous, (the object in the
foreground is a lit cigar) and the fez is particularly appealing.
