c. 1905

About the Item

Sorry for the reflections on the glass - I did not want to disassemble the ornate antique gold frame in order to photograph the art. At any rate - this is a beautifully accomplished turn-of-the-century watercolor by the American painter Frank English, who studied under famed landscape artist Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art -n 1881 - 1882, and exhibited there himself. Though he travelled and painted in Europe, he spent most of his time in Pennsylvania, and was best known for rural scenes such as this. Here we see superbly-rendered workhorses (expertly foreshortened) stopped at the side of the road as a farmer speaks to an acquaintance. The sun pours across the road in the distance, and on the right we see a sunlit river valley. The rendering and balance of shade and light are exquisite. Dimensions given are with frame - this is a large work of art. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans.

    Located in New Orleans, LA
    Sorry for the reflections on the glass, but I didn't want to take this lovely frame apart. The close-ups are much better. This is a highly accomplished, superbly detailed watercolor of a the facade of a building in Rome, depicting Corinthian columns, a frieze and a free-standing tributary sculpture above. Image area itself is 10.5" x 6.25", framed size is 19.5" x 14". Matted and presented in a pretty antique wood frame that has some flaws from an apparently long history but is perfectly serviceable, as you can see. Exquisite detail, so hard to accomplish with watercolor. Came from august Houston...
