Popis: This close reading of Marcia Oakes Woodbury’s 1894 watercolor triptych Moeder en Dochter illuminates three qualities of Christian piety from an American woman’s perspective: its private domestic nature, its characterization as feminine, and its melding of Catholic and Protestant forms. More specifically, Woodbury’s work, considered in conjunction with her papers in the Archives of American Art, reveals the interplay of traditional Roman Catholicism expressed as domestic piety, New England Congregationalism as the interpretive lens for that piety, and a newly emerging, unorthodox spirituality that inflected both.
