Folk Art Portrait Miniature by Patrick Wybrant American Circa 1854

About the Item

Watercolor on paper, young boy in a dress by Patrick Wybrant, circa 1850s. Purportedly a child of a prominent Boston Family. Provenance: Property from the Collection of Maggie Cohen, New York City Overall: 8-1/2"h x 7-1/2"w Sight: 5-1/2"h x 4-1/2"w This item can be viewed in person at The Berkshire Galleries in Great Barrington Massachusetts. Patrick Wybrant was born in Rathdrum, County Wicklow in 1816. He painted in Great Britain from 1849 to 1852, spent approximately three years in the United States. During that time he painted watercolor portraits for prominent Massachusetts families. Wyrat returned to work in Yorkshire around 1855-1856. He may have continued to work until his death, in Knaresborough, West Riding of Yorkshire in 1894. Several American art dealers and commentators have incorrectly identified him as having been a Native American. A typical Wybrant painting is a portrait, a profile view done in watercolor, signed "Wybrant Artist" and dated in numerals. Little information has been published about Wybrant on the internet; what exists tends to be spurious copy devised to promote sales of the portraits. His paintings have value for those interested in 19th century fashion

  • Surrealist Painting By Charles Oscar American Circa 1956
    By Charles Oscar
    Located in Hudson, NY
    A rare piece to be found. Due to his early demise the number of works available by this artist are limited. His work can be found in every major collection in the United States. He was a Guggenheim Fellow, Museum of Modern Art Curator and rising Futurist Artist who was murdered in his New York apartment in 1961 when he was only 38 years old. Titled "Hypnerotomachia", the name means 'the act of falling in love in a dream'. This amazing and rare piece was created just one year after his success with exhibiting at the Venice Biennale of 1956. Semi-abstract composition and very dream like. This painting retains the original carved and gilded Hydenryk frame and has been professionally cleaned and conserved. His work can be found in every major collection in the United States.

  • Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait Painting, circa 1840
    By Ammi Phillips
    Located in Vero Beach, FL
    Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait painting, circa 1840 We are proud of our acquisition of this authentic masterpiece by Ammi Phillips (1788-1865). The finely rendered portrait depicts an attractive young girl in a delightful lifelike quality. The pretty face is a refreshing change from the stern expressions of most of the paintings showing mature female or male sitters. Phillips palette is dark with a strikingly dramatic use of light to her face. The painting, on its original stretchers, is in untouched condition. The frame is period. This painting is unsigned, as are most of his works, but bares the unmistakable characteristics of a Phillips painting. Portrait of a young girl holding a book and wearing a golden whistle. From the New England estate of the renowned Folk Art Collector and scholar, John Bauer...

    Located in Chicago, IL
    A captivating and intriguing early 20th century Southern American folk art panel, found in Mississippi, depicting a figure with what appears to be African tribal headgear, and wearing a white collared shirt with black suit jacket. The line work and attention to detail is extraordinary and mysterious, with the artist choosing to incorporate a natural knot in the board to form the mouth of the figure, and the left half of the drawing showing shading, but seemingly left unfinished. The frame is not terribly old, and is constructed from splatter-painted boards...
