- In 1909, Percy Moran’s work was described as “quiet in character, telling a story of love or some incident connected with home life.” This scene of a young girl and her dog in a windswept field is a romantic image of American colonial life. The subject was a popular one in the 1890s, appearing in books, newspaper serials, and magazines. The colonial revival in America came at a time when industrialization was changing the nation’s landscape and altering the way people lived. The literature, architecture, and paintings that appeared during this time often presented a nostalgia for America’s age of homespun.
