Following is information sent to AskART.com by Esther Greenleaf Murer, a great, great grand daughter of Grove Gilbert:
Several of Grove Sheldon Gilbert's paintings are in the family including a self-portrait and a genre scene with children sledding down a hill, which was intended as a parody of current fashions. "The story is that he dashed it off, saying 'this is how some people paint' and put two children in the picture saying 'that's you, Karl. That's you, Emma.' "
