About the Item
This lovely painting depicts couples on boats taking a leisurely outing on the Sudbury River, outside of Boston, Massachusetts. The Sudbury runs outside the western suburbs of Boston until it connects with the Concord River. Over half its length today is considered a scenic river. The artist is Henry Orne Rider and the painting is signed by him on the front lower left corner and inscribed on the reverse side of the canvas. Rider’s inscription reads “A Boating Party on the Sudbury River” and is in his original hand. It is a sunny summer day and the men and women are dressed in late Victorian clothing that depicts turn of the century styles. The composition is nicely conceived and the paint applied somewhat liberally in places to convey depth and texture to the work. There is a nice sense of light and shadow, especially on the boating party itself and the river nearby.
Henry Orne Rider was born in Salem, Mass. in 1860 and was educated in Boston at the Museum of Fine Arts before studying art in France at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. His early paintings tended to feature French impressionist tendencies and this work does as well, although the color palette is decidedly more post impressionistic. It likely dates to ca 1895-1910. Rider painted local scenes around Boston, including the Charles River which flowed past his neighborhood of Auburndale. His site specific paintings are very desirable and collected. Rider died in 1943.
An interesting attachment on the reverse side is an old appraisal report of the Art Appreciation Movement which probably dates to ca 1940. The five judges included noted New York artists John Sloan and Reginald Marsh. They specifically appraised this work at $50 at the time, perhaps at some type of Antiques Roadshow for its day.
The painting measures 14” x 18” and is in good condition. The colors are bright and there are no signs of repair. The canvas shows slight rippling in places, along the upper edge. From a distance this does not show to any great extent. The work is housed in a simple late 19th century walnut frame with gilt liner that compliments the painting well. It is in good condition as well and is ready to hang on the wall of your choice. The overall framed dimensions are approximately 19” x 23”.
