Really beautiful Hudson River landscape from the mid-19th century.
I love the tranquil feeling and the luminescence of the riverscape at
daybreak. The fishermen are positioned in the light orange of the
sun just starting to hit the water and a sailboat is in the far
background close to the mountain. The academy board is backed with
a trade label of F.W. Devoe & Co. in New York. The label has an
1852 trademark and shows an address in New York City. In 1869, F.W.
Devoe & Co. took on a national presence by branching out into Chicago.
This academy board must have been made prior to 1869 or the label would
have included both the New York and Chicago addresses. The circa
1850 bird's eye maple frame with gilt liner really adds to the beauty of
this American painting. Framed size is 27" x 21". (#3253) $1250 |
