Painting
Home Late is the earliest identified painting by Mortimer Smith. The shadowy interior of the frontier cabin demonstrates his mastery of the genre scene: the rifle hanging from the ceiling side by side with drying meats and vegetables, supper cooking in the kettle suspended in the stone fireplace, and the dog sleeping peacefully by the fire. Smith is equally adept at capturing the warm glow cast by the fire as it contrasts with the cold light of the winter scene beyond the doorway. The child pausing in the doorway heightens the emotional ambiguity of the scene as he surveys the cabin's interior, perhaps to gauge the mood within as he returns home late from skating.
Smith's landscape and genre scenes suggest familiarity with his better-known contemporaries, like Albert Bierstadt and Eastman Johnson. Certainly, early exposure to the work exhibited at the Cosmopolitan Art Association in Sandusky provided Smith with models of painting styles that continued to influence him throughout his life.

Painting
This painting of two women weaving by the cool light of a single window won a prize at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. The naturalistic depiction of the crowded interior, with natural tones enlivened by the red blouse of one woman and the blue wool being woven, shows Emma Lampert Cooper’s award-winning grasp of composition and color. However, by the time it was given to MAG, 70 years later, it was mistakenly labelled as a work of her husband, Colin Campbell Cooper.
Emma Lampert Cooper was the first vice president of the Rochester Art Club when it was founded in 1877, and later its president. She taught art at the Mechanics’ Institute (now RIT) from 1893 to 1897.
