Oil on canvas, 26 x 32 inches, 36 x 42 framed, signed l.r. and 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 the artist c. 1902.

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 vulnerable age of sixteen when she lost the use of her legs to polio and was forced to abandon her ambition of becoming a con ...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)
click for details		Raymond Agler Fine Arts 978-281-5048 $3,700
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.

August(us) Young (1837-1913).Still Life,Pear and Grapes Catalogue: Fine Art: Paintings: Oil: N. America: American: Pre 1900 item# 796374 (stock# 2466)

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

John O'Keefe, then at the Art Institute of Chicago, observed in his article on Chandler ("The Magazine Antiques", November, 1972) that Chandler's paintings "...between 1837 and 1852 embody much of the best in American folk art...It was in his portraits of children that Chandl ...click for details

Oil on canvas, 36 x 40 inches plus frame, signed and dated lower left, titled verso. Browne spied Ray Curley, the subject of this painting, entering the Fenway Studios in Boston on October 30, 1935. Curley was actually a professional wrestler and supplemented his income by modelling for Boston artists. Browne wrote in her diary for November 5, 1935: "...went upstairs. My colored Prize Fighter was there. Got my set-up and model posed. It will be called "Before the Fight," and he i ...click for details

Oil on board, 20 x 29 3/4 inches, 27 x 36 3/4 framed, signed "G.T. Margeson", lower left. Unlike his fellow master of "crashing waves", Frederick Waugh, who was a world-traveller, Margeson, either from preference or due to the pressures of making a living, observed the sea from his adopted home, Rockport, Massachusetts on Cape Ann. He operated a variety store, worked as the town tax collector and is credited with opening the first artist studio there in 1873, beginning the tr ...click for details

Oil on pressed panel, 10 x 14 inches, 17 x 21 inches framed, signed "Miller", lower right. Although Provincetown is often erroneously cited as Miller's birthplace, he was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. After public school and 4 years study at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, he was employed as a staff artist at the St. Louis Post Dispatch. A scholarship enabled him to go to Paris in 1898 to study at the Academie Julian and subsequently with Gerome, the acknowledged maste ...click for details
