Oil on canvas, 26 x 32 inches, 36 x 42 framed, signed l.r. and also inscribed "Girl in Blue"/F.H. Richardson/Ipswich,Mass." verso. The work was painted at "Meadowview", the Ipswich, Massachusetts home that Ralph Adams Cram designed for Richardson c. 1902. It likely depicts the artist's wife.

Oil on canvas, 17 x 21 inches, 25 x 29 framed, signed "M.S. Pearson '27" lower right. Physical handicap has been the starting point of many artistic careers. The itinerant portraitist Joseph Whiting Stock (1815-1855) and Gloucester's own painter of the sea, Fitz Henry Lane (1804-1865) come to mind. In Marguerite Pearson's case, misfortune came at the early age of sixteen when she lost the use of her legs to polio and was forced to abandon her ambition of becoming a concert ...click for details

William M. Prior (1806-1873) Lady with Lace Cap. Catalogue: Fine Art: Paintings: Oil: N. America: American: Pre 1900 item# 814992 (stock# 2465)

Oil on board, 14 x 10 inches, 20 x 16 inches with frame, unsigned, c. 1840. The veneer frame is typical and likely original to the piece. Prior wavered between an obvious ambition to paint in the academic manner and his true genius and calling for the simple. His flat, two dimensional likenesses are sometimes extraordinary in their success at capturing the essential character of the sitter in a few brief strokes. Such is the case in this example, which presents a woman pleased with herself ...click for details

American School (c. 1835). A Boy and his Dog. Catalogue: Fine Art: Paintings: Oil: N. America: American: Pre 1837 VR item# 857644 (stock# 2465A)

Oil on wood panel, 5 inches x 3.75 inches plus frame. This diminutive folk masterpiece elucidates the essence of that genre, namely the ability of the relatively untutored hand to achieve true and honest expression. The canine, of less than noble lineage, has been banished to the cellar for some unknown transgression. His best friend has stolen down the stairs in his bare feet to provide comfort and companionship. A gem.

Oil on board, 6 x 9.25 inches (12.25 x 15.5 inches framed), signed and dated "Aug. Young 1899", lower right. Authorities differ on whether Young was German-born or a native-born New Yorker of German parentage. In any event, he was engaged in art studies at an early age with Junius Brutus Stearns, Theodore Kaufman and at the National Academy. Subsequently, he studied for two years in Munich and Paris. He was well-established in Brooklyn by 1860, his home until his death in 1913. This in ...click for details

One of the great pugilists of the twentieth century, John Arthur "Jack" Johnson died in a North Carolina car crash after reportedly being refused service at a small diner near Raleigh. He had won the heavyweight title in 1908 in Sydney, Australia, igniting the search for a "Great White Hope." This culminated in the f ...click for details
