Jack Coughlin is an artist of Irish-American heritage who is best known for his portraits of literary figures and musicians. Born in Greenwich, Connecticut Coughlin studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Art Students League of New York. Although Coughlin’s education coincided with the heyday of Abstract Expressionism, he has always been drawn to figurative traditions in European and American art. However, in prints and drawings from the 1960s to the present, he has also pursued a vein of imagery that is much less naturalistic and that explores a range of sources, from the anatomical drawings of George Stubbs to the grotesque hybrids of European printmakers like Francisco Goya and Martin Schongauer. In many metamorphic, dream like images, absurd and mysterious juxtapositions of the human and animal join in an irrational evolutionary journey.

Hunter was married to a John J. Osborn of Connecticut and the 2 were divorced in June of 1895. Hunter spent 4 months in England and France in 1913 and lived at lived at 50 W. 67th Street in Manhattan as of 1923.
According to art historian David Tovey, this painting is a depiction of the Lansallos Street, showing ‘Couch’s House’, in Polperro. Additionally, Tovey states: "Hunter will have accompanied Snell on his Summer Class of 1906, as she did paintings of Chagford, Sussex and Brittany that were the destinations for that trip. The first reference to a Polperro painting by her is 1906, when she sold one to Boston Art Club... Otherwise, she may have also accompanied him on the 1905 summer class which took in Polperro and Venice."
