Portrait of a Young Woman
Located in San Francisco, CA
Ohio-born painter William J. Forsyth (1854-1935) spent most of his life in Indianapolis and initially trained at the Indiana School of Art. But by 1882 Forsyth wanted to hone his drawing and rendering skills abroad. He enrolled at the Royal Academy in Munich, Germany. Fellow Hoosier students in Munich included artists T. C. Steele and J. Ottis Adams, which helped the new arrival’s transition.
Forsyth painted figures like this one while in Munich. One intriguing indication that this piece may have been done during the artist’s Academy period is that a very similar portrait of a remarkably similar sitter was described at auction as "German School, 1891" with the inscription "G. Büttner/Munich '91."
However, while there Forsyth shifted his interest to landscapes under the influence of American artist J. Frank Currier...

"A Frenchman and His Cow"
Located in San Francisco, CA
This cow knows her power; her man’s shirt is color-coordinated to her bridle. It would be hard to imagine any cocky tech bro prouder of his new Verde Mantis (Green) Lambo than this dewy-eyed farmer with his most productive bovine, hopefully the source of a divine cheese.
Done in the classic palette of Provence, and abundant with the area’s renowned grape clusters, sunflowers and pears, it comes with a promise to transport you to that land of eternal sunshine (well, except for the Mistral season).
