Harvey Otis Young
Native American Encampment, western scene

1874

About the Item

This rare and impressive depiction of a white capped mountain and Indian encampment from the 1870's is a great image for a library or rustic room. Exquisitely painted, Young focused on Western views from Colorado to San Francisco. The exact location of this is still to be determined as it could be a Mountain range north of San Francisco where Young searched for Gold or Colorado - perhaps along the Merced River in Yosemite too. He was known to do landscapes in all of these regions. This scene has strong light and movement with the clouds overhead. It is framed in an exceptional hand carved, high quality Hudson River school frame with 22 Karat gold. This artist had a great career, exhibited many important places including the National academy of design, the Paris Salon, the Pennsylvania Academy of Art and the Denver Art Association. The dimensions given are the total framed dimension and the canvas inside measures 17 x 30 inches.

  • Boothbay Harbor, Maine from the Hill
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    Best known for his painterly landscape views, Oberteuffer developed a fresh and vigorous style, using a subdued color palette with agile brushstrokes that was influenced by French Impressionism. Boothbay Harbor from the Hill is a wonderful example of this style of painting and shows Oberteuffer’s mastery of subtle color. It is an added plus that Oberteuffer has specifically referenced a clearly identifiable locale- Boothbay Harbor- in his title and additionally denoted that the view was painted from the hillside, potentially capturing actual homes and buildings of the time. Framed in a Gold Leaf Whistler style frame of exceptional quality. The painting has vivid and fresh color and creates a window in any room. The canvas inside the frame measures 30 x 24 inches.

  • Sunyata, A Coastal scene
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    A coastal scene, Sunyata is painted with a unique intensity. The painting itself measures 42 x 64 inches so other dimension is framed. In a lovely wood stained frame. Through this intensity, Sarah has found expression for a range of moods that encompass the whole human condition—awe, grief, anger, and joy are all represented here in haunting forms. These are the emotions that inspired the work and they are expressed metaphorically and spiritually, directly and indirectly in her works: her awe at the beauty of the natural world touched by the hand of the divine; her anger at the willful destruction of our planet and its resources; her grief in the form of a wave crashing against rocks; and her joy and exhilaration as sunlight bursts through the branches of a willow tree. Sunyata was directly inspired by lines from Keats’ “When I have Fears:” Then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till love and fame to nothingness do sink Signed: Gillespie lower right Marked: Sarah Gillespie...
