About the Item

Rooster and Hens in the Barnyard William Baptiste Baird (U.S./France 1847-1917) Oil on panel Signed lower right "W. Baird" 12 1/4 x 9 inches A stunning example of William Baptiste Baird's most desirable painting of hens and roosters in the yard. Born in Chicago in 1847 and having perfected his considerable skills in Paris while studying at École des Beaux-Arts, Baird exhibited extensively at the Paris Salon from 1872 until 1899. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy in London from 1877 to 1899. Baird lived and exhibited almost exclusively in France, living in the Latin Quarter of Paris and working at Pont Aven, the Cote d’Azur, Fontainebleau, Nice, Versailles, and Brittany. Baird also visited London, England and Lake Geneva, Switzerland. He is known for his paintings of the French countryside and farms with their farm animals, most notably chickens, cows and sheep, but his oeuvre also contains landscapes from the many places he traveled throughout Europe. Although most of his time was spent in France, Baird was a member of the National Academy of Design the Salmagundi Club in New York City. He exhibited at the Paris Salons (1872-1899); National Academy of Design (NYC, 1875, 1877, 1879); Noyes & Blakeslee (Boston, MA, 1877); Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (Philadelphia, PA 1878, 1882, 1883); Brooklyn Art Association (NYC, 1879); Salmagundi Club (NYC, 1880-1881); Royal Academy (London, 1883); and in California (circa 1904). Baird was a member of the National Academy of Design, exhibiting there from 1875 to 1879, and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1878, 1882, and 1883.

"Manchester sitting on Terrace in Autumn, 1854" Guido Hammer (German, 1821-1898) Oil on canvas 25 1/2 x 29 1/2 (30 x 34 frame) inches Signed lower right Guido Hammer and dated 1854. On the back a document from Jules Hardy - Conseil en Gestion fiscale et Antiquariat. Edmund Guido Hammer (Germany, 1821-1898) was a German painter and draftsman. He attended the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and from 1842, Hammer apprenticed in Julius Hübner's studio. As a passionate hunter, he was connected to the Dresden Heath and therefore was inspired to become a painter of animal subjects. He traveled on foot to Trieste, Venice, Milan, across Lake Garda, and made repeated trips to Munich, into the forests of Saxony, Bohemia, Silesia and, also, into the Tyrolean mountains. In 1866 he went to Constantinople. His fresh, naturalistic animal and hunting pictures have always been very well received. The Old Masters Picture...

Two Stags in Winter Landscape, Twilight Oil on Canvas, Dated 1912
Located in SANTA FE, NM
Stags in Winter Twilight (American, early 20th century) Both dated l. r. "1912" 38 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches The stag is the king of the forest, the protector of all other creatures. For the native tribes of North America, the deer was a messenger, an animal of power, and a totem representing sensitivity, intuition and gentleness as well as fertility. A deer’s antlers may represent spiritual superiority. Like a crown, the antlers grow beyond the body of the deer, bringing it closer to the sky and therefore making it sacred. In many cultures, the deer is a symbol of spiritual authority. During a deer’s life the antlers fall off and grow again, and the animal is therefore also seen as a symbol of regeneration. In Christian iconography, the deer appears as a symbol of piety, devotion, and is used to symbolise God taking care of his children. The legend of St Eustace...
