American Paintings

This is an original oil on canvas painting of an Ox and Cart coming down the road.  The painting has 3 intials lower right, they seem to read: "W. ?. S."  Weve been unable to make out who the artist was. We feel the painting is from the late 1890's and is most likely American in origin.  The painting was expertly done.  The canvas laid on board measures 19X13 inches and is in a 19th century gilt frame.  

This is a very fine Hudson River School landscape, oil on academy board, 9 3/4 x 18 3/4 inches, c. 1880s, unsigned, in an ornate period gilt frame. Although this painting is unsigned it is quite well painted, evidently by a very competent artist.

This is an original oil on board painting by American artist Henry Mortikar Rosenberg.  This study of a museum visitor was originally in the collection of the Mobile Museum of Art, Alabama.  The painting is signed lower right in pencil and inscribed on the back.  The image measures 16X12 inches.  A few minor spots of touch up, nothing major.  A fine modernist impression.  Rosenberg studied under Frank Duveneck.

This is an original watercolor, gouache and pencil drawing on illustration board, of two Nude Sunbathers by New York artist Gladys Rockmore Davis.  This drawing is hand signed in pencil lower image.  It measures an image of 7 1/2X12 1/2 inches, custom framed with archival boards.  The frame measures 17 1/2X22 1/2 inches.  Davis  was an American artist who worked in both commercial and fine arts. She gave up a career in advertising art to work in creative painting. Her chief subjects are children, nudes, and still lifes. She also painted ballet dancers, vignettes of liberated Paris, and scenes of Spain.  This work is in fine condition.

This is an original oil on canvas painting by German American artist Hugo Breul (1854-1910)  This painting is signed lower left corner.  The canvas measures 9X6 inches.  The frame is 10 1/2X7 1/2 inches. A fine rich multi layer amber glazing to the portrait.  Very well captured.  In what appears to be the original early Whistler style frame.  We feel that  this painting dates from the late 1890's.

This is the third watercolor and gouache painting that we recently acquired.  All park scenes, all painted on a blue toned paper, nicely framed with archival materials.  We are unsure who this artist was, most likely one of the mid 1930's American Illustrators.  The image measures 8 1/4X5 1/4 inches. Unexamined out of the frame.  Probably a view in Central Park N.Y.
