William Trost Richards “Adirondacks”
William Trost Richards’ watercolor, “Study, Adirondacks” measures 8.5″ x 12.5″. William Trost Richards was one of the foremost 19th Century American painters. He felt it was essential to render meticulously faithful and factual work. Richards, whose career flourished during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, is principally recognized as a painter of marine and coastal subjects. Less well-known is the fact that during his early practice from 1853 to 1870, his primary subject was the American landscape of the Adirondacks. Richards produced a series of paintings that figure among the most beautiful and significant records of the region produced at mid-century. These Adirondack paintings effectively launched Richards’s career. Richards work was first publicly exhibited at the Bierstadt Exhibition in New Bedford, MA in 1858. He produced a number of watercolor views of the White Mountains in 1872, 1874, and 1876, several of which were presented to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by the Reverend Elias Magoon. From 1861 to 1899, Richards exhibited at the National Academy of Design, and from 1863 to 1885, at the Brooklyn Art Association. He was elected a full member of the National Academy in 1871. Though he was proficient with oils, many of his most appealing works are executed in watercolor. Richards’s encounters with the Adirondack region came at critical moments in his own career and in national life. The Adirondack region provided a virtual laboratory in which he worked out various landscape agendas over more than a decade. Though he started out as an oil painter of landscapes, in his later years Richards painted almost exclusively watercolors of the sea. An excellent William Trost Richards painting. Sold for $8,000.

Norman Rockwell oil on canvas painting of Richard Nixon, signed ”Norman / Rockwell” at lower right. Painting is the study for ”Mr. President (Richard Nixon)”, which resides in the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, and was published in the 4 February 1969 issue of ”Look” magazine, captioned ”Weighed, yet buoyed, by the American past and present, Richard M. Nixon, 37th President, faces the future in this Rockwell portrait”.
Rockwell painted this study in late 1968 of then President-Elect Richard Nixon, a man whose portrait he found ”elusive” but whose features here are unmistakenly Nixon, revealing at the same time both the guardedness and warmth of the 37th President. As the premiere portraitist of the 20th century, one would expect no less from Rockwell. Oil on canvas measures 14” x 11”. Provenance is from Judy Goffman Fine Art of New York, and then subsequently the Charles E. Sigety Collection. Exhibited at the Mississippi Museum of Art in ”Norman Rockwell: The Great American Storyteller” from 2 March-15 May 1988, no. 64. Painting is in very good condition, with a stretcher bar mark along upper edge. Wax lined, with no inpainting. Sold for $125,000.

French Impressionist master Pierre-Auguste Renoir drawing, pen and ink with ink wash of a young girl with a hat, entitled ”Fillette”. The drawing, created circa 1882, is signed with the initial, ”R”.

He painted scenes of people at work and play, often painting women and girls. He was known for his free brush strokes and the warm sensuality present in the light and color of his palette. Two of Renoir’s most famous paintings, ”Luncheon of the Boating Party” and ”Girl With a Hoop”, were completed during the early 1880’s when this drawing was made. The drawing, measuring 5.5” x 7.75”, is in fine condition. With provenance from Sotheby’s.
