Along with the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Smith College Museum of Art holds one of the finest collections of Tryon's work in the world. Some twenty paintings and drawings are included in this exhibition. One highlight, The First Leaves, won the prestigious Webb Prize in 1889, the year of its creation. The painting was recently cleaned and returns to the museum after an extensive tour through Australia and the United States in an exhibition organized by Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum, New Worlds from Old: 19th Century Australian & American Landscapes.
