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."
