- An impressionist oil painting titled, At "Smith's Palace," Narragansett Bay, by Edward M. Bannister. The painting depicts a pastoral landscape that features a copse of tall, dark, leafy trees just left of center. Directly in front of the trees is a small pond. In the background, on the right, is a white house with a red chimney, a small, detached building with a red roof, both sitting on a yellow field. Behind the buildings is a dense patch of trees. The scene is set against a cloudy sky with contrasting bright and dark clouds. In the foreground is dark green brush. The painting is signed in the bottom right; painted in dark green oil paint that reads [E. M. Bannister]. The painting is housed in a heavy gilt frame with ornamentation in a floral motif.
