Caroline PitkinExquisite Antique Still Life, Japanese Figures, Oil on Canvas by Caroline Pitkinca 1890’s
ca 1890’s
About the Item
This is a spiritually inspired oil painting by noted American artist Caroline W. Pitkin. The Japanese themed setting is well composed with figures, a screened backdrop and a folded fan with a few beads included. Although done in hushed tones, the objects relate well to one another and are finely executed. This is clearly a revered-themed painting in the Aesthetic Period and mood of the late 19th century.
And so it should be, as the artist Caroline W. Pitkin was a student of William Merritt Chase, as well as Charles Woodbury in later years. Born in New York City in 1858, Pitkin lived her entire life in Manhattan. She was a member of the National Association of Women Artists and exhibited both at the National Academy and the Pennsylvania Academy in the 1890’s. It is believed this work is from the period of her life. She died in Manhattan in 1931.
The painting is oil on canvas and measures 14” x 17”. It has been professionally relined with Belgian linen and underwent minor restorations, none of which are visible from the front. It is housed in a deep well wood frame of the period with an interesting mother of pearl inlayed liner. The frame seems to complement the painting quite well. The overall framed dimensions are 19 1/2” x 22 1/2”. There is some minor scuffing to the frame around the edges, but none so bad as to marr the look from any distance.
This painting would be quite appropriate in a period late 19th century setting, or within a more contemporary space, providing visual contrast and interest.
