Like many women artists, Caro Weir Ely was the daughter of a painter, the American Impressionist J. Alden Weir. Growing up among her father and his artist friends, Ely was exposed early on to many branches of the arts. She is best known as a bookbinder, an art she studied with Helen Noyes in New York, where she established her own bindery. She also excelled in the realms of etching, in which she trained with artist Joseph Pennell, and pastel. Ely lived for many years in Old Lyme and recorded local sites, such as the waterfront of Essex depicted in this pastel, in an array of media.
