"Shepherd and Nymph, " oil painting by Lee Woodward Zeigler

About the Item

This bucolic woodland scene is one of the most charming pieces that Lee Woodward Zeigler produced over a career that focused largely on mural painting. Zeigler was fascinated with the slender, nymph-like female nude, and painted it many times. Here, however, he has paired his nymph with a male shepherd figure, all in a lovely, light-dappled forest glen that suggests turn-of-the-century American Impressionism. The painter executed many mural paintings, most notably for a series of Episcopal Churches scattered across the nation.

  • "Satyr and Nymph", Art Deco Masterpiece Painting with Nudes in Paradise, 1932
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    One of the most sensual and brilliant Art Deco paintings in the French manner that we have ever offered, this idyllic scene of Satyr and Nymph, lounging under a fruited tree with lush fields in the distance, was painted by Gheorghe Labin in 1932. Labin was one of Romania's avant-garde artists in the 1920s and 1930s, and clearly he trained in Paris, because the lush scene, brilliant palette, and confident brush strokes indicate an intimate familiarity with the leading painters associated with what we now call Art Deco. This painting was entered into the Salon Bucarest in 1932, in a period when Labin exhibited with Mattis Teutsch, the de facto leader of Romania's modern painters, together with Corneliu Baba...
