About the Item

"Flounder Fisherman at Barnegat Beach, N.J.", by American artist Kenneth Nunamaker (1890 - 1957), depicts the iconic New Jersey shoreline. Nunamaker was known for his atmospheric impressionist landscapes, of which this is an excellent representation. Signature, including title, lower left. Nunamaker’s classic use of color and play with the natural lighting highlights the scene beautifully, and his use of thickly layered impasto makes this a striking and memorable piece. This enchanting oil on canvas is in an appropriate, highest quality carved wooden & 22k gold leaf frame, and measures 35 x 40 inches framed. This work not only reflects Nunamaker’s painting workmanship but great skill in capturing both the detail and mood of the American coastline.

The Music Lesson
By Walter Bonner Gash
Located in Edgartown, MA
An exquisite example of Walter Bonner Gash’s mastery, The Music Lesson (c. 1890) captures the quiet elegance and nostalgia that define his work. This beautifully preserved oil painting, measuring 49 1/2 x 33 inches, remains in its original, period gold leaf frame, adding to its historical significance and charm. Gash, a British artist celebrated for his evocative depictions of domestic life, beach scenes, and childhood innocence, developed his distinctive soft luminescence while studying at the Lincoln School of Art and the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp. His works reflect an international influence, blending technical precision with an intimate, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Exhibited at the Royal Academy three times, Gash gained recognition for pieces such as Studying the New Woman...

"Lobster Pots" Gloucester Massachusetts Seashore Scene Oil Painting with Figure
Located in New York, NY
Impressionist seashore landscape with figure of fisherman, lobster pots, and crashing waves in Gloucester Massachusetts. Willet has portrayed this piece in a most dramatic and energetic way and has packed much feeling into this miniature work. It is almost as if we are there in the waves in the early morning, with the man and his lobster pots. Christopher is known for capturing the beauty and simplicity of an earlier time of the 20th Century; old New York, families working together, villages and farms and friends taking walks together. Many are depicted in recognizable historical settings and this piece is an excellent example of this. Christopher engages his audience with the quick use of brushwork and great attention to picking up the energy passionately of his subjects. The piece comes housed in a decorated dark tone wood frame and it is ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso. Art measures 5 x 7 inches Frame measures 7.25 x 9.25 inches Christopher Willett...
