Tufts Davis
Wilton Riding Club Horse Event

Circa 1978

About the Item

An award winning artist for her watercolors, Davis was a beloved Connecticut artist. A rare subject done in a contemporary and fresh way. She was a member of this club and enjoyed the horse events and sought to capture the young female riders. Great to hold a large spot in a room. Watercolor is a versatile and expressive medium that has played a significant role in the history of art. Though its origins can be traced back to ancient times, it is the revival of the medium in America, especially at the hands of Jamie and Andrew Wyeth, that Davis draws her inspiration. Through her skillful use of watercolor techniques, she brings the beauty and energy of equestrian sport to life. Framed: 31 1/2 x 38 1/2 inches - the inside measurement of the artwork is 22 x 29 inches. In a lovely decorative gold frame and archival matting.

  • Edouard Dufeu (1836-1900) A Fantastic scene by a lake, signed drawing
    By Edouard-Jacques Dufeu
    Located in Paris, FR
    Edouard Dufeu (1836-1900) A Fantastic scene by a lake Charcoal on paper Signed lower right 23 x 30,5 cm Framed under glass : 42.5 x 51 cm This fantastic scene, the subject of which remains a mystery, reveals an aspect of Edouard Dufeu's personality in which he is more influenced by Romanticism. We can recognise his nervous, painterly style, which lends itself particularly well to this fantastic scene. Edouard Jacques Dufeu was born in Marseilles on 27 march 1836, and he died in Grasse on December 1 , 1900. He was a French painter and engraver . Coming from a family originally from Egypt, Dufeu moved to Paris in 1860 and frequented the studio of Charles Gleyre...
