About the Item

Provenance: This is an early painting by Huldah Mae Cherry (also known as Huldah Cherry Jeffe), done in her "Impressionist years" and painted after a painting by another American Impressionist, Lawton Parker entitled "Breakfast in the Garden", oil on canvas 81.3 x 81.3 cm (see attached image as it appeared in Vol. XIX, No 2007 American Art Review). Huldah was born in Dallas, Texas, where the previous owner of this painting resided. The previous owner states: "In the mid 1970's I had a lady friend who was a close personal friend of Huldah Cherry Jeffe. Through this connection, I met Huldah. Huldah was living in Palm Beach, Florida but would occasionally come to Dallas to see her mother. Her mother lived here with her son, Max, Huldah's brother. Huldah's mother was getting quite old and Max looked after her.. Huldah supported them. Max, who was a character, was a one time Captain in the Mexican army and a soldier of fortune type, who would occasionally run short of money, and knowing my interest in Huldah's work would call me and offer some of Huldah's works that were in her mother's home. I bought 6 that I can remember and I believe they are some of her best. The painting I shipped to you was done during her early years and during her "Impressionist" era according to her. I have truly enjoyed these and particularly since I knew Huldah. She was truly a high class lady. I hope someone who appreciates nice things obtains this and enjoys it as much as I have" Huldah Mae Cherry "Dessert in the Garden" c. 1920s Oil on Canvas Signed Lower Left Canvas: 36 x 28 inches Framed: approx. 43.5 x 35 inches An American fine artist born in Dallas, Texas, Huldah Cherry was an accomplished figure painter who studied at the Art Student's League and Grand Central School in New York City. She also attended private classes taught by Robert Brackman. Huldah began her career in the 1940s. From 1934-1949 she was represented by the noted New York art dealer and collector, Howard Young. In the 1950s, the Charles Lock Galleries of New York also exhibited her work. In 1975 Wally Findlay Galleries in New York presented her first one-woman show. Four of her works were purchased by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Her paintings have been reproduced by the New York Graphics Society since 1946 and by Hallmark cards since 1953. Huldah has had her paintings selected for the Grand Salon of the Salon des Artistes Francais in Paris. She won Honorable Mention awards on the Salons of 1948 and 1967. For her subject matter, she focused on turn-of-the-century women and adolescent girls. Her young ladies are costumed in the fashionable attire of the period, and her style hints of impressionism with a strong Renoir influence. Inspired by a period known as La Belle Epoque, Huldah's designs were incorporated into thirty-one collectible porcelain works of art which were created between 1959 and 1968 and distributed into the 1980s. Huldah retired in Palm Beach Florida, and is the wife of General J. E. Jeffe. She is listed in Who's Who in American Art, Who's Who of American Women and the World Who's Who of Women. In addition to museums, her paintings are in the collections of the Cornell Medical Center, and in the Los Angeles Athletic Club. And in 1998 the national Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC recognized Huldah and has included her work on their permanent collection.

Of him it was written: "In the late nineteenth century no American artist was more thoroughly identified with the painting of cows than William Henry Howe." (Richter 128). In a style that combined Tonalism and Realism, he was a painter of light-filled pastoral landscapes that sometimes had sheep as well as cattle tended by their shepherds and herders. He began a career as a businessman in St. Louis, and in his mid-thirties, changed course and went to Dusseldorf Germany to study art at the Royal Academy. In 1881, he went to Paris and studied with animal painters Felix Vuillefroy and Otto de Thoren. He also exhibited his work at the Paris Salons and the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889. Travels in Holland in the 1880s with other artists inspired his interest in pastoral subjects, and during that time he began his cattle paintings...
