The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of Barbara and Edmund Hajim 2021.148 Painted during expatriate Max Bohm’s visit to his hometown in Cleveland, Lucy depicts a former love interest, who years earlier turned down the artist’s marriage proposal because she doubted his ability to earn a steady income. During the intervening time, Bohm had wed someone else and established himself as a noted painter, earning success particularly in France and England. Bohm created this painting while working on a commissioned mural for the Cuyahoga County Courthouse.
