Oil on Canvas Painting "A Drink at the Well" by Thomas Hicks 19th Century

About the Item

An oil painting on canvas titled "A drink at the well" by Thomas Hicks (1823-1890) The painting with a courting couple, in a newer Hudson Valley school frame. Thomas Hicks studied in America and Europe before establishing a studio in New York. He was well known for painting portraits but also created many images of people and animals in picturesque landscapes. In 1860 he painted the first portrait of Abraham Lincoln, shortly after the future president's nomination. While Hicks was painting the image, Lincoln's children sneaked into the office and smeared paint all over the walls. Lincoln later described this as "their first effort in brilliant wall decoration" (Chicago Daily Tribune, February 7, 1909).
