About the Item
A fine oil painting with cherubs and a cart of fruit by French artist Leger Cherelle (1816-1867). Cherelle was born in Versailles, France, and was registered on Rue Guenegaud (Paris) in the 1845 Paris Salon registry. This oil painting, along with another similar one, was exhibited at the Beaux-Arts Salon of 1845 under the titles "Erigone et des Enfants Traînant Un Chariot Chargé de Fruits”.
The painting was reviewed in the "Revue de Rouen et de la Normandie: Beaux Arts 1845", vol.13, pg.38, and is translated from French as follows:
"Several mythological subjects at the exhibition seem to invite our imagination to return to the ancient ideal. In the first row/of the first calibre, we must place the compositions of Mr. Leger-Cherelle: Erigone and Children dragging a cart loaded with fruit. These two pictures are of a beautiful and strong colour; the fruits that appear there are in high relief and appear succulent. There is no doubt as to the accuracy and correctness of the drawing; but there is, in all these two compositions, a full-scale elegance, a virile grace which completes and supports the powerful effect already gives by the colour. The most serious reproach to Mr. Leger-Cherelle is that he devotes himself so completely to the imitation of certain masters (Delacroix), that he seems to have no other purpose than to emulate him; so that, in all the merit that we can recognize this artist, is unfortunately a large part of borrowing from his Master."

- Portrait of Christina Patterson, 5 Years OldBy Aaron ShiklerLocated in Milford, NHA fine portrait of a 5 year old Christina Patterson by American artist Aaron Abraham Shikler (1922-2015). Shikler was born in Brooklyn, New York, studied at the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, then studied in New York with the abstract painter Hans Hofmann, but he remained a committed realist throughout his life, under the sway of artists like Degas, Vuillard, Sickert and Sargent. To make a living, he painted clowns and ballerinas for a wholesale company, signing the work “Phil I. Steen” to register his disgust. When Leroy Davis, an Army friend, opened the Davis Gallery in Manhattan in 1953, he began showing Mr. Shikler’s work, which included figure studies, still lifes and landscapes. A turning point came in 1959 when Jane Engelhard...Category
