New Deal Art: "The Washington Monument as Seen from the Pan American Union"

Above: "The Washington Monument as Seen from the Pan American Union," an oil painting by Mary P. E. Saltzman (1878-1974?), created while she was in the New Deal's Public Works of Art Project, 1933. I couldn't find much information on Saltzman on the Internet, but it seems likely that she is the Mary Peyton Eskridge Saltzman who died in 1974, and lies at rest at Arlington National Cemetery with her husband Charles McKinley Saltzman (1871-1942). Charles was a major general in the U.S. Army. The couple seems to have had at least one child, Charles E. Saltzman, who also ended up being a general in the U.S. Army. The younger Charles had three children, so it's possible, if all of this information is accurate, that Mary P. E. Saltzman has grandchildren and great-grandchildren living today.
