19C Oil on Canvas ‘Portrait of a Distinguished Lady’ In the Style of J Eichholtz
By EICHHOLTZ
Located in Dallas, TX
PRESENTING a LOVELY Early 19C Oil on Canvas ‘Portrait of a Distinguished Lady’ In the Style of Jacob Eichholtz.
Nice sized portrait of an older lady of high social status, from circa 1820.
She has brown curly hair (suggesting that she may not have been as old as she appears) with a beautiful lace bonnet, with intricate lace collar and black period dress which is suggestive of a ‘mourning’ period.
Oil on Canvas mounted on a wooden fame with nails and glue.
Unsigned, but most definitely in the style and manner of Jacob Eichholtz, who was a renowned Pennsylvanian artist, known for his portraits of families of status and wealth, in and around Pennsylvania in the early 19th Century.
Jacob Eichholtz (1776–1842) was an early American painter...

Bellamy Style Hand-Carved New England Pine Eagle, Early to Mid-20th Century
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is an original American eagle, hand-carved from pine during the early to mid 20th century. The eagle features a touch of original gilt over yellow sizing with hand-painted highlights, emphasizing the eyes and beak.
The eagle is displayed with both wings fully outstretched. The feathers are expertly detailed, especially considering that this eagle is a single-piece carving.
The eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery, usually the golden eagle, was prominent. On June 20, 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the design for the Great Seal of the United States depicting a bald eagle grasping 13 arrows in its sinister (left) talon and an olive branch with its dexter (right) talons. Those arrows are tightly aligned, a symbol of "strength in unity" that's found in the traditional cultures everywhere, from the Romans to the Iroquois. In this case, the bundle of arrows were a nod to the unity of the original 13 colonies. The olive branches emphasize the power of peace.
The eagle motif has since appeared in allegorical engravings...
