 c1884 COW HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL OIL PAINTING ALBION HARRIS BICKNELL This item excluded from Store Coupon Promotions
Offered is a wonderful and rare Hudson River School oil on canvas painting from an estate signed lower left A.H. Bicknell. Albion Harris Bicknell (1837-1915) settled in Boston, after studying in Europe and was noted for his portraits, livestock, historical, landscapes, and still lifes. See below for additional artist ino from Who's was Who in American Art. We believe high record for one of his works was $15,000 in 2006. You will be hard pressed to find one of his animal scenes in this condiiton for this price in the future. A simply wonderful Hudson River School era piece by a well known and respected American Artist.
This wonderful piece of 1 of 2 we will be offering, with a cow theme. This painting shows 2 cows, 1 drinking from a pond or lazy flowing river, fields behind, mountains in the distance. Circa late 1800s, with Oct 1884 patent date on the stretcher. Untouched original condition, no repairs, we checked with a black light. Some light surface cracking to the oils, scratch upper right corner as well as some other light scratches. The paitning could use a professional cleaning, but displays fine as is, we like old things that look old and this is a wonderful painting. Framed in walnut, old partiall framers label on the back, some edge wear and dings in wood. The frame measures 24 1/2"w x 16 1/2"h. The painting measures 22"w x 14"h. A wonderful find. Check our other auctions for the 2nd AH Bicknell, the compliment each other nicely and should stay together.
Artist info (Who's was Who in American Art):
Studied: in Turner, Maine, and Boston, before 1850; Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Thomas Couture, 1850
Exhibited: Boston Athenaeum (five times between 1857 and 1860); NAD, 1868; Boston AC, 1880; Doll and Richards, Boston, 1866, 1886
Comments: After returning from study in Europe c. 1857, Bicknell settled in Boston. Although he was best-known as a portraitist--he painted portraits of Lincoln and Horace Mann--and for his historical pictures, he was also a respected still-life painter. In 1865, after John La Farge became ill, he took over the the decoration of the dining room panels for Charles Freeland's Beacon Street home in Boston, completing five still-life subjects and one figural piece. Bicknell was a friend of La Farge and Elihu Vedder.
